Hello!

I have a text file with many records, each record spans several lines.
Records are delimited with a ^ character (the delimiter occupies a
line). Two consecutive records:

*000nam 2200121 4500
*0011170018nno
*008030813 no sme
*0411 $hger
*100 $aLuther, Martin
*2401 $aDer kleine Katechismus
*2451 $aDr. Morten Luther ucceb katekismusas
*260 $aKristianiast$bGröndahl$c1837
*300 $a87 s.$bport.$c12 cm
^
*000nam 2200157 4500
*0011170064nno
*008051109 no sme
*100 $aStockfleth, N.V.$d1787-1866
*2451 $aAbes ja låkkam-girje
*260 $aKristianiast$bGröndahl$c1837
*300 $a48 s.
*500 $aSkrevet av N.V. Stockfleth
*653 $aABC
*900 $aStockfleth, Niels J. Chr. V.$zStockfleth, N.V.
*900 $aStockfleth, Nils Vibe$zStockfleth, N.V.
^

It is thousands of records, And I would like to remove several hundreds
of them, based on inspecting the records. Time consuming, but no other
way to do it (entirely intellectual).

I would like to do this in Excel instead of in a text editor, and would
like each record
* to be imported into its own cell (say column A)
* line-shifts kept within the cell (eases inspection)

I have so far not found a way to accomplish the former - excel imports
each text-line into its own row.

Any ideas / pointers?

Gratitude

Michael
