In this article, I am going to show, how can we export Delimited Text Files in Excel. For Example, you have a file which is Comma delimited Text file<\/strong> or Pipe Delimited Text File<\/strong> etc. This file you want to export in to Excel in such a way that Delimiter is treated as a Column. It mean wherever it finds the delimiter, rest of the Text is put in next Cell (towards Column).
\n
\nFollow the below Steps to Export a delimited files in Excel:
\nExample:<\/strong> For Example i have taken one Text File, which is Pipe Delimited as shown below:

\n
