Subject: Re: OT: Bad day for data moochers
Even washing it through Notepad leaves the data in a single column. However, says this non-programmer, it would seem easy enough for someone facile with Excel macros or another "language" to write a short script to reformat the data for a spreadsheet.


Easily fixed. The lines end with Windows CR\LF. For some reason that's the problem.
I pasted it into notepad2 and did File/Line Endings/Unix(LF).
That gets rid of the CR. Cut & paste into Excel or Libreoffice-calc or google docs and it is just fine, one line per row, columns as expected.

I can't try original notepad since I've replaced it with notepad2.
