Please correct me if am wrong.

Are you trying to extract / convert data from excel into txt file?
Are you trying to pro-grammatically fetch the data from the link and transform to some other format?

Please scale down the input and output, then you can scale up as needed!

Ah! Thats airport data, make sure again if its ok to post these data in public forums.
Thanks. Yes, that's public available data, no problems there. I think the answers to both those questions is yes. But isn't converting to a text file as simple as Copy and paste value only?

Yes, I want to fetch the data from the link and have it available on a webpage but not as a text file because I would need it to automatically update. I'm so sorry if this is all confusing. Like I said, I have in my mind what I want, I just don't know how to explain it better or where to start.

Just to confirm again, those links are fine. It's public data. Nothing hidden about weather for climo sites. Here's IEM which has a similar setup to what I'm looking to do. Notice they have the locations and all the data in columns next to it which refreshes with each update.

I see some threads that might be useful. I'll try to check them out later on to see if I can get more info which would be helpful for you guys.

Here's an image from the IEM site I was talking about.. See how everything is on that table on that page using up to date info?

NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE... DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size A FILE argument that does not exist is created. If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole) reads as zero bytes. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --no-create do not create any files -o, --io-blocks treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes -r, --reference=RFILE base size on RFILE -s, --size=SIZE set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow- ers of 1000). SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of. AUTHOR
