 Hello everyone.  I have a project where I scraped a ton of data into separate lists.  I then write the lists to excel...no problem...works great.  The problem I have come across is the final list of data.  It was a bear to scrape and as it turns out it scraped in list form (which is what I wanted) but ONE list item equals 8 lines of text in the list.  So my question is, how do I sort the list into groups of 8 lines (or 8 list items as it is read) to add 8 lines into one spreadsheet cell?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you.

Re: Need a little help...

Hello John,

You first read the file as Text Content, and you can then use the split text action, and use a Standard Delimiter to separate New Lines, (where you make sure you enter x8 to separate the content into a List (where each item of the list will have 8 lines)

Hope this works for you. Let me know if you find any difficulties.

:)
