Default Excel - Creating Tabbed Delimited Text File - Need help with blankcell output

Hello,

I'm attempting to creating a tabbed delimited file from excel that is
going to be used for entering sale orders in an Oracle based
platform. The problem I'm running into right now is that I have
several blank cells in my excel spreadsheet that need to be shown as
"" in the text file when I "save as" to a txt file.

I've tried different methods and none of them have worked:
* I've tried changing all the blank cells to "". When "saved as" a
txt file those cells become """".
* I've tried changing the blank cells to a period, an apostrophe, a
space and none of those methods have worked either.

In the end I can edit this txt file in wordpad and replace the
incorrect characters but I'm hoping there is something I can change in
my excel template to help wit this process.

Thanks,

Dza
