38572 2002-03-10 07:02:00 I have a delimited text file froma data logger. The data for each day appears on a new line separated by commas.

ie.

#2002-02-27 17:05:09#,20.8,0,53,0,302,4,0,1020,0,0

I need to import the data so that it recognises the commas as a column....

I'd suggest you open Excel then select File, Open, Change file type to Text File (if it's a text file) and Open it.

This should bring up the csv wizard. Select 'delimited', press 'Next' and under delimiters select 'comma'. If it's not how you want it, close without saving and try again.
