Hi,

I want to select a bunch of text data separated by commas from a website,
use Windows copy command to copy and paste it into a worksheet in Notepad
and save it as a text file.
How can I do that? That's all.

In case you want to know further, I then can open the text file within
Excel as a comma delimited data and manipulate it as much as I like. Thanks
for any help.

TIA
Tom

That's interesting - a text document within Excel. However, I was looking
for a way to save the captured data as a csv file. In which case I wouldn't
have to save it as a text file first (under Windows) and then open it with
Excel. Thanks for your suggestion.
