This took some tweaking of my test program, but I think with all the needed 
tests and data scrubbing, this is the way to go.  It took some playing around 
with the commas and quotes (the raw data could have either or both of these 
conditions).  It also deals with putting multiple lines in a single cell by 
enclosing that data in quotes, and putting the data on multiple lines.  This 
looks goofy at first glance (putting 1 row of data on multiple lines), but it 
does work.  Study the last example on the link below.



Thanks Bob.

Instead of Tab-delimited, look at CSV format.   It supports embedded single- 
and double-quotes.   And CSV imports into Excel.  Embedded double quotes are 
two consecutive chars: ""
