A Quattro Pro CVS file save as solution???

Sat Mar 15, 2008 8:48 pm

The Quatro Pro spreadsheet program saves cvs files as comma delimited, as follows:
0,ENG,Highlanders,uni_ENG_Inf1,NULL,$uni_txt_ENG_Highlanders,$Land,Army_Highlander1_ENG.png.......etc, etc. No quotation marks. The settings cannot be changed.

I can open this file in Notepad and use find and replace to replace all commas " , " with semicolons " : "

Should this make the file useable for the cvs splitter?

I would recommend that you download the excellent and free office suite Open Office: http://www.openoffice.org/
The spreadsheet program included in this package has configurable output filter for the csv-format.

It might. Try doing it [save csv, global replace, csv splitter] for a file that you haven't modded, and compare to the original file from the 'vanilla'....

I use FCOMPARE for stuff like this - free, somewhere on the web... :o

but a semicolon is [SIZE="4"];[/size]
not [SIZE="4"]: [/size] :siffle:
Always ask yourself: "Am I part of the Solution?" If you aren't, then you are part of the Problem!
