[phpesp-general] Hats off

[Terence K. <cha...@ea...>]

 Hello all,

    I just want to start by saying what an awesome set of scripts these =
are and how grateful my company is to have been able to use them. I got =
a great amount of help from the user groups (under the alias "Unix =
Newbie") and I would like to possibly give something back.

  The survey that was needed by my company was huge, 300 questions long, =
it was a exam based survey full of free form text answers and other such =
things. Well, everything worked fine, but the csv file output. Due to =
users using quotation marks and commas in their free form text the file =
had all kinds of troubles with excel. Also because the file had more =
than 256 columnes some data as getting lost (excel can only use 256 =
colums per workbook). Well to fix this I wrote a pretty basic perl =
script that will strip out the problematic quotations, and spilt files =
with more than 256 columns into two. Its a pretty easy to use script and =
I wanted to make it available should anybody be running into the same =
problem I did.

  Its free for you to use any way you please. You can download it from =
http://homepage.mac.com/kent9646/FileSharing1.html. I plan on making =
additions to it to handle diffent file types and making it easier to use =
but here it is for now, and you are welcome to it if it can help you!
