If I have the following list of keywords:

cat foot
good cat foot
tasty cat foot

How can I easily convert it into a comma separated text file like this:

cat foot, good cat foot, tasty cat foot

Any bright ideas?
 
I'm using open office. I can't get it to work like that.
 
PM it to me and I'll convert it and send it back

I appreciate the offer, Choronzon. That's very kind of you. But this is something I will need to do a lot. I do it every day by hand. I was just wondering if there was an easier way to save me some time.
 
You can do it in ooCalc - here's a tutorial

Great question and I'm glad I have the solution (and then some).

1. Download ASAP Utilities (is a free Excel add-in that you will love and be willing to give money too... trust me)
2. Once you have it installed, open Excel. You will notice the AddIn 'ASAP Utilities'. If you do not see it, open it via the Start > Programs...
3. With your range selected, and with ASAP open, click on Fill > Insert After Current Value, and then in the box, type the comma.

This approach will add a comma at the end of every row/final word.

There may be an easier way to do this but once you open ASAP Utilities and see what all it can do, you will be hooked. I use it many times a day every day and best of all, it is FREE.

I hope that helps you and others.

I was looking for something like that too.

Your method is working very well and it's simple.
Thanks
 
another method which I use is to get a program that has a macro feature (i use ultraedit)

then go to the menu -> record macro

and then you can use a macro like 'press the end button' -> 'press the , button' -> 'press space (optional)' -> 'press delete (so the second line will be on the first line too)'

then save this macro and run it xx times or just select until end of file (sometimes that feature is unreliable so i prefer to run it xx times) (Macro Menu -> Play Any/Multiple Times)

this method is great for converting any text that has a format to another format
 
Download openoffice it's free and has almost all the features of microsoft office then open scalc it's like excel insert the values into the cells and save as a csv you will be asked if you want to save with the values like " and , say yes and that's it you got a csv file.

I have been using this method for a while and it works great.
