EasyPopulate2.72_1 + Excel 2003

[shafiro]

Hi

 

Im using Excel 2003 to edit the EP file, and HTML for the product description. saving the EP file as tab delimited txt.

 

When I open the file in Notepad, I find that the HTML code has been corrupted.

 

Anything I can do about it? :(

take one example of your code you have in excel, paste it here.

then take the same example in your text, paste it here.

 

the next time you have questions on easy populate, or any contribution for that matter, please find the thread for that particular contribution and post at the end of it, you will get much more response, as lots have the particular contributions marked for emails if someone posts in them.

Hi Mibble, thank you for your kind help.

I searched for the thread, but so many threads discuss EP, I didnt know where to post. I am sorry :unsure:

 

Code sample as it shows in Excel:

 

<P align=center><IMG alt="" hspace=0

src="images/corsair/gg_corsair.jpg" align=baseline

border=0></P>

 

 

Same line after it has exported to txt (tab delimited):

 

 

<P align=center><IMG alt="""" hspace=0

src=""images/corsair/gg_corsair.jpg"" align=baseline

border=0></P>

"

 

 

Thanks again

as the tags are what you are looking for in your output, try putting a \ in front of the ", ie \"Arial\"

 

very easy to find just search for easy populate, by selecting the search to look for it in the contribution support area, i came up with this:

It seems the Excel is unable to properly export HTML to a tab delimited file.

Any Ideas?
