Hi Marc, Thanks for the reply.
The question is whether it is possible to write some text (with a hyperlink) to a csv file, such that when you open the file in excel, it shows the text as hyperlinked. I guess it boils down to whether there are any 'tags' that you can put in the csv/txt file so that excel recognizes it as hyperlinked text. Does that make sense? thanks!
