The thing is, I don't know where to start. I know how to open the attached
file, but I don't know how to work inside the file. Is this a csv file? Do I
need to use a split function? In what way should I look at the file? As a
string? As lines?
If you included about 5 lines of the file in your message, we might have
a clue. When I saw the original message, I was going to respond with a
message about using [col, col+1], which would give you one character
from each line.
