Single caveat emptor on sylk or any text/csv file destined for excel. Do not have the A1 cell contain the phrase ID. Somehow excel will interpet it differently and give you a SYLK error and you'll scratch your head. my 1 cent. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Olson To: 'U2 Users Discussion List' Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 10:08 AM Subject: RE: Format Text in Output Data File
you might want to check out sylk files. not exactly as simple as .csv but but easier then .xls (?) you should be able to add style.... maybe search the archive.... i remember someone had a subroutine... -----Original Message----- From: Simon Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 5:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Format Text in Output Data File I am trying to format text outputted to a csv data file. I'm building a string of data and writing it out to a data file with 'comma' separation, line by line, and naming the outputted file with a ".csv" extension. Is there a way to format the text/data line(s), as "bold" or "italics" or "colour" etc. without using a third-party software ? Cheers, Simon.
