Default Unwanted Square Character in .txt file

Hi all
Using XP Windows and XP Office 2002.
I'm using Excel to open a tab delimited .txt file which
is a report from a database.
At the end of each row of fields is a total of the fields
in the row. i.e 1 1 1 3
This total number has a square character on the end.
Is it possible to remove this square character using a
macro.?
I've tried using TrimAll, copying and adding a blank cell
using paste special, but can not remove it.
I tried a find and replace, but the square character is
copied across to the find as a space.
Could I use a macro to copy/select only the numbers to a
helper column along side, copy and paste special values
only then delete the original column,
The Square Character can be deleted manually.

TIA

Bob Christie
