parsing text
 

Hi,

I hope you may help me.

Please check the attached text file.
Actually its a report file with some headers information
and them report is in tabular format. I want to parse each row
and get the values.

I think strtok won't work here.

There are no tabs in between the column values they are spaces.
Column values them selves contain spaces but they are single spaces.
Minimum two spaces are there between column values.

can you suggest some algorithm in C or any other method to get each
column value.



In excel I try to create a delimited file but its unsuccessful. How to
do it in excel.

Thanks,

lee

parsing text
 

When you open a text file in Excel the Text Import Wizard should pop up and
walk you through the process. The file is not delimited and I cannot tell
if it's fixed width but that is the option you'll have to try. Use the
wizard to indicate where the columns fall. If that does not result in a
satisfactory result you'll have to write a macro or use an external process.

As for saving a delimited file you might try File, Save As, CSV.
