CSV file
I am new to script writing. With the help of others I now have a script that reads the files names in a folder and records each file name in a comma delimited file. "import.txt".
I can now import this into Open office Calc as a TextCSV file but it places each file name at the head of a separate column.
What I really want is to be able to import the file such that it shows each file name in a separate row but in the 1 column.
It seems to me I need some how to put a return. line feed or carriage return in where the , is in the script.
How do I do this?
I known one can do an Edit cut and the a special paste in a way that transposes the data base from a single long row of data and to a single column but this is messy for the numbers I have to do. So if it can be done in the generation of the CSV file it would be a lot beter and easier.
I am using OpenOffice 3.3, and Fedora 14 64 bit as the OS
The current script in the area where the comma is is
"$LINE," >> import.txt: done.
This works fine for what I want but it gives the end results as I say with the file name one per column when importing as comma delimited.
Thanks
