simple answer: copy the .csv to a backup file open the copy in word and find/Replace "," with " ". then rename the file extension to .html then open it with your favorite browser. if the information displays as desired, copy out the desired text (cntrl + a or Shift + End help a lot) and paste it into another word or text document. that should work... as for an script or applet, that would take some time and trouble. depending on the html, it would probably be quite dificult to define all the things you need to strip out. probably longer than editing it cy hand... hey...slang is the vernacular for the vernacular...wow
