Hello,

I have a large amount of bibliographic data (ca. 1000 rows and 5 or 6
columns) in csv format saved in Excel tables. After filtering out what I
need I want to save the filtered data for archiving, say 20-30 rows at a
time. I parse text from column 1 and then from column 5 or 6 and then I want
to save it as a record.

In other words in pidgin pseudocode

For all the rows selected
get some stuff from column 1 and then move to column 5 or 6 depending on
whether a certain value is in one of them
then move to next row down
carry on until all rows have been processed

Having looked at several books I am completely bamboozled about what to use:
range, offset.

Can anyone give me a start?

Many thanks,

Gordon Filby
