Can you elaborate what you are trying to find out?

comma delimited text file is basically a text file. But using a comma to indicate where the column ends (and the next begins). As long as you do that, it's fine.

I am trying to make a comma delimited file to import into a database.


For instance

ComanyName,Address,City,State,Zip,Phone,FAX,WebAddress


how do you end the end of record, so it will import into the next record?

So that's fine. Just use a comma to separate each field.

A line break will do the trick. (to end the current record and move on to the next)
