There's an annoying gotcha with .csv's - MS Excel doesn't conform. They only put double quotes around strings if the string contains commas or double quotes: 123.45,Jim Langston,"Conex Global Logistics Services, Inc.",789 From: Jim Langston <jlangston@conexfreight.com> > To expand, comma separated variable, or CSV, is a recognized way of > transferring data between different programs. The general format is, all > fields are trimmed (trailing blanks removed), strings are enclosed in double > quotes (") and commas are inserted between fields. So, for a record that > contained: > > 123.45 Jim Langston Conex Global Logistics Services, Inc. 789 > > the CSV line would look like: > > 123.45,"Jim Langston","Conex Global Logistics Services, Inc.",789 > > Excel will import from and export to CSV, as will Access and other programs. > +--- > | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! > | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. > | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. > | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. > | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com > +--- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
