We have lots of programs that export our data from UniData to tab-delimited text files. Some of these are opened by Excel (which has its faults), some are imported into other databases. These files will be 1) E-mailed as attachments or written to specific location on the network.
If I know that the users will always use Excel to open the attachment, I usually make the file extension "xls" so that it simply fires up Excel when double-clicked and parses everything out reasonably cleanly (but still drops leading zeros, converts big numbers to scientific notation, etc). We are using UniData on HP-Unix. Is there a good way to convert @VMs to something that Excel will correctly convert to what would be equivalent to the Alt+Enter in Excel? I do not want the data on multiple rows - I want multiple lines with breaks within a single row/cell.
