Cashmere most spreadsheets have parsing tools somewhere, though I can't figure out where the current version of Excel hides it. Email me a copy (my profile addy is good) and I'll be glad to parse them for you if parsable. If these are fixed field lengths and I can figure out where one field ends and another begins from context then parsing it is easy/peasy.

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
And if I can't find the excel tool, I have an old copy of lotus I know backwards and forwards in terms of doing data parses.
Ah, found the Excel instructions:
1)Select the range of cells that contains the text values. The range can be any number of rows tall, but no more than one column wide. Note There must be one or more blank columns to the right of the selected column or the data to the right of the selected column will be overwritten.
2)On the Data menu, click Text to Columns. Follow the instructions in the Convert Text to Columns Wizard to specify how you want to divide
I'll try that. Thanks!
oh, TB, I looked at the "author" section of your site. While "what qualifies you to write this book" is the question that you need to answer, I think that it sounds like you're trying to justify yourself. I do, however, love the bit at the end about how to condense it into a blurb.
That bites, Cashmere. Hope the Excel thing works.
Typo Boy is a genius! It's been a long, long time since I've had to do this kind of work in Excel, but I think I may be able to get this stuff figured out.
