Does anyone know how to export an Excel spread sheet to a csv file using
"|" as the delimiter instead of ","?

You can (temporarily) change the separator by changing the windows list
separator under control panel regional settings (number tab) to that |
character.

Or you could write your own macro to extract the data in whatever form you want:

Some sample code to get you started:

Earl Kiosterud's Text Write program:

(or directly: http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/text_write_program.htm)

Chip Pearson's:

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
