Thanks for the reply. I generated a file as you suggested and looked at the readable character it put in to the TextCSV file the showed up as "bread"$ where the $ was coloured blue. There was a $ characters after every line so when I tried in import it again I have all the names listed in a single column with each on a different row.
So I tried to change the text file I had generated with the files names in it. The $ was just put in as a $ straight from the key board (just in black) but when the text files was imported using TextCSV into open office all the file names were in one row and one column.
Clearly the $ was not being recognised as a control character.
Do not quite know where to go from here
The $ you see just means "end of line" so you don't need to add these.
to go back to display in a normal way use :
:se nolist (still in vi command mode)
You must just make sure that the file you want to generate with your script look like the one you have edited with vi.
