Re: convert text file to excel ? (continued)

What part of the process are you having a problem with? Parsing the input, creating the output, creating the output file, writing to the output file, etc?

Well my initial reaction to this was just that. Write a little program
that opens a file, Removes the first two lines, because I really don't
need the headings, moves over 10 spaces and inserts a tab, moves over
15 and inserts a tab and then saves the file as .xls

My problem is I only have figured out how to read in a file so far :(
