saving an excel file as text without text in quotes
I am creating a comma delimited (text) file for upload to another
application. The file is a tab in Excel (2000). No matter what (.txt) file format I select to save as, each line of the output file is in quotes (which are not present in the excel source file. As a result, the upload application doe not recognize the data. |

Start with a completely blank worksheet.
Put hello world in cell A1 Save the file as .csv Open the resulting file with Notepad You should see no quotes -- Gary's Student "John" wrote: I am creating a comma delimited (text) file for upload to another application.

Mr. Student:
thanks for your reply. I followed your directions. I opened a fresh workbook (book3.xls). I copied column A of my Excel worksheet output data tab (already pasted special as value from my input tab) and pasted it to column A of sheet1 of book3.xls. Then i selected <file <save as and changed the file save as type to CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv) using the default Filename (i.e. - Book3.csv). This is what is in cells A1:A2 of the output dab of my source workbook: D/0001, ,06/30/05,1,170,11510,1366.87 T/0001, ,06/30/05,1,1,2005-06 Interest Income - V&H Note this is what the first two lines of book3.csv contain when I open it with Notepad: "D/0001, ,06/30/05,1,170,11510,1366.87" "T/0001, ,06/30/05,1,1,2005-06 Interest Income - V&H Note" Do you have any other suggestions?
