Would like to ask if how to convert a .csv file generated from macro to .txt file?
I have this Excel macro that gathers data from the website and create a table and output it to a .csv file, but for some reason I wasn't able to copy its contents to an existing .csv file as it returned special characters instead of the correct output.
Please help me, with the program I am currently doing.
A csv file is a text file. U can just change the extension like this
Name "C:\\**\\a.csv" As "C:\\**\\a.txt"

can anyone help me with this one?
I need to save a excel spreadsheet into .txt file however if there is 8 characters in certain cell txt file adds another TAB which can't be really there as another program doesn't pull the information if it's there. I am out of ideas.
I have a pipe delimited file with an extension txt. I am using UiPath invoke code (basically I am using VB.net coding) to either read the file into a datatable variable. While Uipath has inbuilt activities to read CSV files, it doesn't work for many rows. I tried with few rows (about 10-20) and it works, but for about 1000-2000 rows, it gives me error that CSV file format in invalid. I am looking for a VB function to either convert the Pipe delimited txt file to a workbook xlsx file. Please help!
Thanks in advance!
It does not matter which file extention (TXT/CSV/...) it is. The steps to solve your issue are simple:
Use the Read CSV activity
Set the path of the file here
Here you set the Delimiter to your Pipe
I am trying to process a data base, which is in .sav format, on excel.
I have converted sav to csv online: through http://pspp.benpfaff.org/ but I get csv text, not a file.
How can I import this into excel so that it reads it as columns? otherwise I have the text in commas.
Thank you!
I have found the easiest method after online conversion is to save the resulting text as a .txt file. From there you will open Excel-->File-->Import
If your data has headers you will select that option, but the main thing is to set the delimiter as comma and then hit finish. It should retain the data structure initially found in your SPSS file.
I have a text file with a list of usernames, and I have an excel file with about 4000 rows and about 9 columns. Basically what I'm looking to do is find any instance of anything from the TXT file in the Excel file. The match might not be EXACTLY the same, like :
TXT file has a row monkey1
excel file has a cell in column "C" with \\server1\monkey1
I would like to somehow flag that cell, or even the line in the TEXT file, or a seperate output.
I'm also pretty flexible on how to do this, like VBA/Macros etc. Or even putting this into an Access database or something similar. Or even converting the TXT to CSV or the Excel to another format.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, or any guidance on what I should be looking for.
Thanks!
Export as csv
Write a python script that reads the csv with the csv module;
and the text file;
and then appends a magic string, like !! to each cell containing the text of a line from the text file;
then outputs a csv file with the updated table;
Then you can import it in excel;
And format-search-and-replace !! into a formatting of background color.
I am downloading an excel attachment from an email using a tool and converting that file to CSV Using VB Script. The problem I am facing is, after converting the file to CSV, when I try to open the file using notepad, it shows boxes instead of the correct data. But the same file if opened using an excel then it returns the correct data.
But if I create a mew CSV file and open it with notepad I am not facing this problem. kindly help me !!!
Without looking at your script, I would guess that the file is simply renamed to a .csv file - but not actually converted! This way, you would end up seeing the binary data in Notepad.
Try to open the original Excel file in Excel - and there save it as .csv. This will surely work, i.e. you'll see the data in Notepad.
If that does not help, please share your script.
