Unix Comma Separated to Excel Column
I would like to copy 2 parts of a csv file from Unix to an XL sheet. However to save time I do not want to format the column ever time I cut and paste into XL(Text2Column). I've used awk -F, '{Print $1, $2....}'. Is there a script or code that can automatically format the csv for XL columns?
Sample CSV
00:10,2344,2332,0,1,0,2,0
00:15,2311,2002,0,0,0,1,0
Sample XL
00:10|2344|2332|0|1|0,2|0
---------------------------
00:15|2311|2002|0|0|0|1|0

COLRM(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLRM(1)
NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file
SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]]
DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read
from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output.
If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec-
ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not
zero.
Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7).
EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1)
HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD.
BSD
August 4, 2004 BSD
