CSV Newbie Question
If this question has already been asked somewhere, please let me know,
but... I know that to start a new line in a CSV file you put "\n" in it, but how do you start a new line within a cell? Hopefully this is a dumb and easy question. Thanks. Brian Munz |

CSV Newbie Question
Sure it does. Try opening excel, using the alt-enter suggested above in
a cell, then saving as csv. You just have to put "'s around the content of the cell in the raw csv data. So """ABCD" & vbLF & "EFGH""" will work.

CSV Newbie Question
But there could be a problem with the application that will open that .csv file
next. Some may see that linefeed character as an actually linefeed. Others would see that character as part of the field. shriop wrote: Sure it does.
