Hi all!

As you will see I am a non professional needing a little bit of help.

I have some name and address data that I have "dumped" into a dos file from a very old cp/m type formatted floppy disc.

I want to convert the data into a delimited text file to then import into Access

Unfortunately when viewed as a text file in Notepad the file has a lot of unwanted non printing characters and a fixed file import has not been to successful.

Is there a utility that will enable me to remove all of the unwanted characters and export the data as I want?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Jonti
