Okay I'm looking to turn a directory of text files into a CSV file.
The CSV needs to have 3 columns: title, parapragh, text - with either
each new file being added to the row or getting a newline.
An example text file would look like this (the number of paragraphs is
variable depending on the text file)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Title
first paragraph first paragraph first paragraph first paragraph first
paragraph first paragraph etc
second paragraph second paragraph second paragraph second paragraph
second paragraph etc
third paragraph third paragraph third paragraph third paragraph third
paragraph third paragraph third paragraph
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Colunm 1 needs no explanation, column 2 will be just the first
paragraph in the file, column 3 will be all of paragraphs with
linebreaks being replaced with something say <BR>
Anyway does anyone have idea ideas, command strings or code.
Kris
