I received some large CSV files that needed importing into a database, but unfortuntely there were hundreds of lines that contained line feeds so they would not import correctly.
Every “valid” line started with “[email protected]”, so it was easy to find invalid lines with the following:
Using this, I then created a macro as follows:
- F3 - find next instance
- Backspace - removes the linefeed
- Type “\r\n” so the fact that there was a line feed can still be determined
You can then run the macro to the end of the file, and all records were formatted to not span multiple lines.
