My thought relates to OsX being a variant of Linux, which itself was derived from unix, so you should have the basic unix tools for dicing and slicing - cut, sort, uniq, can't remember them all now; but remember we had to write scripts with these to chop and change files like this. I now do it with PHP, but would still need file dimensions; but that is the one way it would work well and efficiently, if you knew the commands and parameters. PHP is particularly good for this once you isolate the separator.
Can't say more without having a file to chew, and you don't, or shouldn't want to part with that. Sorry to hear you had that much trouble, worse than you last said by the sound of it. RobH. Ps: I'm missing the obvious, CSV means comma-separated Variables. So, find a spreadsheet, they can all import that format, then find the offending column, mark it from top to bottom, then hit delete to empty the fields; then do save-as, call it something else or add a 2 or 3 somewhere to save overwriting the original, then you should be able to import that clean and fill in the real dates after, all be it individually. Empty fields have nothing between commas at that point. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kawal Gucukoglu" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2014 9:38 PM Subject: A little help with Calendar please. Hello. I’d like a little advice about my calendar please. Recently, my contacts, notes and E-mails got into the wrong hands as it were, although I didn’t realise my e-mails were being monitored for a couple of months until a few weeks ago. Thus I was able to save some of my contacts as I had them copied to a portable SSD drive. All the contacts that I had left were in a CSV file and when I imported them back to my devices once I got Internet back again, all my contacts had some numbers at the end from my CSV file so that all the contacts have a date of birth for approximately of 15 years ago so that all my contacts are of the age of 15 years of age. So I need to change all these numbers to either the proper date of birth or get rid of the numbers altogether. Is there a way of manipulating all the date of birth fields in one go and thus clearing the calendar of all the dates of births’ please so that I can choose to put dates of birth’s for some of my contacts please? I am also choosing to use two step verification for my Appple ID so that I never am compromised again by anyone. It was most upsetting waking up one morning to find that everything had disappeared from my I phone. Thanks.
