Default help extracting data from 3 text files to csv

It's difficult without seeing the exact appearance of each data file in
relation to the rest. It's obviously not simply placing in adjacent columns
but will require some movement of data.
It is possible to import more than one text file using the text to columns
facility. By importing to the same w/s and manipulating each file you should
be able t get it into the required format.
It would be best to see your original data in it's raw form to help further.
