Hello,

In my 80's now, so please bear with me a bit. Prime member.

I want to download some database files for incorporation into CSVUserListBrowser.
Apparently these must be in .txt format

I see the download options for the RR files are an Excel .csv or a .pdf
No .txt (apparently ?)

a. Are there .txt downloads available ? Sure hope so. If so, where ?

b. Or, must I, after downloading the Excel .csv, convert it to .txt ?

What's the best way of doing this ?

I tried using Notepad and also Libre, but could not get it into anything
CSVUserListBrowser would accept.

Would appreciate any thoughts or help with this.

Thank you very much,
Bob

That doesn't make any sense at all. CSV = Comma Separated Value. CSV is not an Excel file, although normally Excel will open them by default. CSV is one of the file formats offered by the database for downloading, as you noted. I'm not entirely sure what CSVUserListBrowser is, I assume software of some type, however given that CSV is literally part of the name, I can't help but assume that it was designed to work with CSV files.
