I need an index with the first delimiter blank (instead of ,) and no en-dash for a range of pages. I know how to do it manually in the ind.file, but of course I would like to do it automatically with a ist (or mst) file.
I use imakeidx. There is no effect and I obtain the message " blabla ist file not found", although I put it in the same folder as my main text.
MWE :
\documentclass[11pt,a5paper]{article}
\usepackage{imakeidx}
\makeindex[options=-s blabla]
\begin{document}
A fox jumps\index{fox} over a gate\index{house}.
It disappears in the wood\index{wood}.
\printindex
\end{document}
blabla.ist file
delim_0 "\\quad"
delim_r "-"
I obtained for the Index
fox, 1 wood, 1
house, 1
instead of
fox 1 wood 1
house 1
Perhaps my .ist file is not correct : I typed it in LaTeX and saved it as Document (and type the correct name at the finder level), but it appears still with a TeX icon (and the type is TeX text file). I also tried texedit with no more success.

As pointed out by Nicola, the problem came from the fact that the file extension type was not correct. It may be not sufficient to change the extension name at the Finder level as said elsewhere. I had to go to the infobox of the supposed .ist file (which was in fact not a real .ist), open the "name and extension" section in the infobox, change HERE the extension in order to have only .ist. A message asks if it is ok to change the extension and one answers yes. And indeed it works.
