I need to transfer a txt listing of customer information from a Rolodex-type
format to a spreadsheet. It is a very old system and the only way I could get the data I needed was via this Rolodex format. However, the listing does have a reproducible format. Id like to move the individual rows into columns and then slice and dice the individual columns to get the data into additional columns for sorting, etc. The Rolodex format I have is as follows: Line 1 -- First Name, MI, Last Name (no commas) Line 2 -- Address line #1 Line 3 -- Address line #2 Line 4 -- City, State, Zip code Line 5 -- Chart #, DOB, Sex, Registration Date Whe Chart# is 7 digits max DOB is formatted MMDDYYYY Sex is single alpha Registration date is MMDDYY Line 6 -- Home Telephone, Work Telephone Where phone numbers are formatted ###_###_#### (3 spaces) ###_###_#### Line 7 -- Blank line Line 8 -- Blank line Then it starts over at Line 1€¦ for approximately 800 people. The thought of having to cut and paste all of this is killing me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |
