Hi Mat, Open the file in Excel. You will find all the information in Column A. Select Column A and then Use Text To Columns Feature in Excel. Choose the Delimited option. And the the Next Screen you will have a place to type a customized delimiter. Type the Pipe symbol in that and click finish if you see the preview to be correctly showing the data.
If you still have any problem, send the file to me I will do it for you.
