Default CSV file

Hi List,

Issue:
User creates output files by running query from PeopleSoft. somehow,
the output files have extra empty columns at the end. these extra
columns cause issue when they try to upload the files into another
system.

Solution for now:
User has to open the CSV file using notepad or wordpad, then deleted
the extra spaces at the end. When user views the file from notepad,
each field has quotes around. It looks like:
"Num", "Code", "Name",...
Then they can upload these files into another system without any
problems.

What I am trying to do:
Since there are many output files out there. User wants to have a macro
to handle the "Delete Extr Spaces" thing. I tried to delete the spaces
from the CSV files directly, but after I deleted the extra columns, if
view the file from notepad, all the quotes gone, and they can't be
uploaded into the next system.

Does anyone have any similiar experience? Why the quotes gone? are
there any ways that can let me delete the spaces without loose the
quotes?

Thanks for any help.
