Extract Address Information from a Word Document
I need to get a macro/vb script/program that can convert something like this : CITY OF ST. GEORGE, UTAH BUSINESS CONTACT LISTING - ALL BUSINESSES BUSINESS NAME LOCATION ADDRESS OPEN DATE OWNER NAME BUSINESS PHONE ------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------- ------------------------------ -------------- #1 CENTRAL VAC LLC 574 DAMMERON VALLEY DR W 06/15/2005 GARN, BRETT K 4355742222 DAMMERON VALLEY UT 84783 1 CALL SERVICE PROS 511 E ST GEORGE BLVD #G 08/20/2004 KIRKLAND, CASEY 4356888700 ST. GEORGE UT 84770 1001 BUSINESS CARDS INC 60 N 300 E 08/06/2001 OGAARD, LORI 4356741330 ST. GEORGE UT 84770 To convert it to a csv or xls like this : BusinessName|Address|Date|Owner|Phone|City|ST|ZIP This way it can be used for mail lists or DB mining. The city says this is the only way they can export the info.. Any help is appreciated.. If someone would like to write a script to strip the file I would be interested in that as well. Thanks. |

Extract Address Information from a Word Document
Mark:
Unless this is hand-written or done on a typewriter, it's probably reported from a database somewhere. I don't think the City is so stone-age as to maintain non-computerized records, are they? Somehow they are outputting a Word-format report. Can the database they are using output a csv report? I'd check there first. Ed "Mark Simons" wrote in message ...
