    How to remove quotation marks from my worksheet output ?

    Hello,

    I have an excel program that reads a file and prints it to the work sheet, but I can't figure out why it puts quotation marks around the line of text. I would like to remove the quotation marks from column A and column D. Does any one have an easy solution? Thanks!

    Re: How to remove quotation marks from my worksheet output ?

    your csv file has quotation marks around every line which is why its putting it your file at start and end
    "Employee ID,First Name,Last Name, Salary"

    Change this line

    ^^ this code just replaces the " with space

    Re: How to remove quotation marks from my worksheet output ?

    The reason you are getting quotes in your output is that there are quotes in your CSV file. This is what it looks like if you open it in a text editor instead of Excel:

    "Employee ID,First Name,Last Name, Salary"
    "222312,Marc,Ariberti,933710.4"
    "29287,Stephan,Assmus,123005.4"
    "268218,Olivier,Aubert,1126515.6"
    "262737,Sigmund,Augdal,1103495.4"
    "122696,Pierre,Baillet,515323.2"
    "114502,Gildas,Bazin,480908.4"
    "53983,Rocky,Bernstein,226728.6"
    "190374,Stephane,Borel,799570.8"
    "391579,Arnaud,de,1644631.8"
    "368256,Filippo,Carone,1546675.2"

    humdingaling, Thanks for noticing the quotes. I used Excel to write the .csv file and it must automatically place quotes for each line, because my original file did not have quotes. Well, I like your version better than mine, I'll use that, thanks!

    Jeff, that's what humdingaling pointed out. I did not notice that. Thanks for your observation.
