- Description
This script aims to help opening files in columnar report format, i.e. those generated from aleph's p-ret-01 or p-ret-03, etc.
in spreadsheet applications, like excel or openoffice, by converting the reports into csv (Comma Separated Values) format.
The script works with standard python 2.x installation and doesn't require special libraries. - Author: Luigi Messina
