I believe that "f=255" works "best" for this.


I did f=255 and still only get the first record imported.
Is there a way to tell excel when saving as csv not to use commas
but to use "~"? Or when in the txt file add the ~ separator?
Here is one line of my data. I am still trying the alien file suggestion.

Thanks for all of the help,
