using openoffice

[operafan]

Hi, I'm usin openoffice here & have imported a .csv file/ a log file actually into it. It shows all in 1 column but each in their own rows.
My problem is I dont know how to extract basd on certain keywords to show while the rest can be deleted.
Help appreciated

working with csv, you might want to check CSVdb, a tiny freeware that does excellent job.

thanks hanuman, that's a neat tool.

operaman, sounds like you should become with grep, a command line utility that will select lines based on keywords. Native to unix, but you can also find freeware version for Windows (Win32).

Thanks guys, I thought my questions would never be answered.
At least I have some direction :)
