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

RMM(1) [nmh-1.5] RMM(1)
NAME
rmm - remove messages
SYNOPSIS
rmm [+folder] [msgs] [-unlink | -nounlink] [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
By default, rmm will remove the specified messages by renaming each of the message files with a site-dependent prefix (usually a comma).
Such files will then need to be removed in some manner after a certain amount of time. Many sites arrange for cron to remove these files
once a day, so check with your system administrator.
Alternately, if you wish for rmm to really remove the files representing these messages, you can use the -unlink switch. But messages
removed by this method cannot be later recovered.
If you prefer a more sophisticated method of `removing' messages, you can define the rmmproc profile component. For example, you can add a
profile component such as
rmmproc: /home/foouser/bin/rmm_msgs
then instead of simply renaming the message file, rmm will call the named program or script to handle the files that represent the messages
to be deleted.
Some users of csh prefer the following:
alias rmm 'refile +d'
where folder `+d' is a folder for deleted messages, and
alias mexp 'rm `mhpath +d all`'
is used to "expunge" deleted messages.
The current message is not changed by rmm, so a next
will advance to the next message in the folder as expected.
FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's nmh directory
Current-Folder: To find the default current folder
rmmproc: Program to delete the message
SEE ALSO
refile(1), rmf(1)
DEFAULTS
`+folder' defaults to the current folder
`msgs' defaults to cur
`-nounlink'
CONTEXT
If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.
BUGS
Since refile uses your rmmproc to delete the message, the rmmproc must NOT call refile without specifying -normmproc, or you will create an
infinte loop.
