How to convert a File Exchange CSV, or Turbo Lister CSV backup files

How to convert a File Exchange CSV, or Turbo Lister CSV backup files(both made from Turbo Lister before it was de-activated) into a list(.rtf) of just my items with prices, and nothing else?

 

I need a list of all my 55,000 items that were in Turbo Lister for inventory.


Is there a way to do that?

 

Thanks!

How to convert a File Exchange CSV, or Turbo Lister CSV backup files

@tkmops 

 

Open the list in a spreadsheet tool, delete the unwanted columns, and save as a new file name. You can then resave in tab-delimited text format that will open in Wordpad with some degree of formatting, or you can copy and paste from the open spreadsheet into Wordpad  and you'll probably see spreadsheet columns.

 

If your titles vary considerably in length, then, using the spreadsheet tool, I would move the titles to the last column and put the more uniform data in the first columns.

 

With 55,000 lines, the file may be too long to open in older versions of Excel, but the file can be split into smaller files using a text editor if that is the case.

Thanks, that worked. Even though TL no longer works, I now have .rtf(which I have converted to HTML) files of all my 55,000+ items, as master backups.
