Thank you Klashxx!!

That was a step in the right direction. Actually if I run the command with the example files as I posted in the example it works without any problems. I must have oversimplified my data because when I run it on the real thing the result file is huge, 2,3 GB although the source file are less than 100 Kb altogether. I tried to open with openoffice and in the preview window before importing I can see that there is a column with the file name which is great, then some stuff gets scrambled and repeated.

Here is a sample code of one file:

Code:
"Innography URL",Assignee,"Publication Number","Publication Country","Publication Date",Source,Title,Abstract,"Application Number",Citations,"Est. Expiration Date","Family ID","File Date","First Claim","All Claims",Inventors,"First IP Classification","All IPC Classifications","Kind Code","Priority Date","Normalized Assignee","Number of Claims","Number of Backward References","Number of Forward References","Original Assignee",Strength,"Ultimate Parent","US Classification"
"=Hyperlink(""https://app.innography.com/patents/14530190"",""Innography Link"")","Biora Ab",CA2226570,CA,1997-01-30,"CA Patents","Enamel matrix related polypeptide","The invention relates to novel nucleic acid fragments encoding polypeptides which are capable of mediating contact between enamel and cell surface. The invention also relates to expression vectors containing the nucleic acid fragments according to the invention for production of the protein organisms containing said expression vector methods for producing the polypeptide compositions comprising the polypeptides antibodies or antibody fragments recognizing the polypeptides and methods for treating various hard tissue diseases or disorders.",CA22265," ",2006-12-18,27221209,1996-06-26,,,"Wurtz, Tilmann  | Hammarstr, M Lars | Slaby, Ivan  | Cerny, Radim  | Fong, Cheng Dan",C12N01500900,"C12N 15/09|A61K 31/00|A61K 38/00|A61P 1/00|A61P 1/02|C07K 14/435|C07K 14/47|C07K 14/78|C12N 1/15|C12N 1/19|C12N 1/21|C12N 5/10|C12P 21/02",A1,1995-07-13,"Biora Ab",0,0,0,"BIORA AB","0th-10th Percentile",,435317100

As you can see one column contains an "abstract", the file may have all sort of special characters, could that have been the cause why it didnt work?

Thank you again for your help, really appreciated!

script [-a] [filename] DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS. The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it. NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts. ATTRIBUTES
