Killink CSV will create, edit, and save .csv files. However you must enter the leads yourself. Start by creating a new csv file (File > New from the menu). Enter the lead data into the spreadsheet area then save the file (File > Save).

What Killink CSV will not do is convert your existing lead data into a csv or delimited text file if the data is stored in a file that is not already a delimited text file.

Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for your reply.

So...I get it now....

Your software doesnt make my computer able to turn my list of leads into

a .csv file, if it doesnt have the ability to save a file as a csv file in the first place.

And, I already have the Filler Tool, I was just explaining the next step.

Thanks Again for your answer.

I'm not sure how to answer your question because I'm not sure what the problem is. There is no concept of leads in Killink CSV and there is no filler tool.

Killink CSV is a file editor for delimited text files. A delimited text file is a file containing values that are separated by some character, typically a comma or tab. Killink CSV uses a tabular editor similar to what is found in popular spreadsheet programs such as Excel and Number to edit and value the contents of a delimited text file.

Creating a new file and opening and saving a file works the same as it does for many other Windows-based application including Notepad.

To create a new file:
- Select File > New from the menu.

To open a file:
- Select File > Open.
- Using the open file window navigation to the desired file.
- Select the file.
- Click the Open button.

To save a file:
- Select File > Save.
- If the file is new, the save file window is displayed.
- Navigate to the desired folder.
- Enter the file name.
- Click the Save button.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

I hope that I can mask my frustration and speak clearly and intelligibly.

Ive just downloaded your product, because I will be recieving leads

without commas, and my system does not save text in that fashion, though

I have Vista on a new computer.

I have the platform open, and have the leads saved to Notepad. Upon

looking through the Help tab, and any text I can find....I dont see any

clearly laid out step by step directions for total novices or those who have

never seen this type of product before. I have no idea what terms you are

using mean, and dont see anything like I would understand like,

(1) Click this button, (2) Find your file (3) Save to "Kill" file

Voila! All is loaded.

Do I have to manually load each lead? I have no idea. I cant even guess.

After I am successful at loading my leads into your system, and they are

"Comma Separated", I will then attempt to use a Filler Tool that loads them

into a mailer at a website 10 at a time, and send emails to each lead.

So...my goal is to get my leads into a form that this software needs.

Why there arent directions I can find easily is a mystery to me!

So.....

If there is any Mercy today for me, and my ignorance hasnt totally

made a fool of me, someone please take pity on me and spend a sec

and tell me the obvious.

Oh, and one thing.....when I click "Open" on your software, it opens

a list of my folders....and it lists all the Yellow folders in my computer, but

not the file I have saved. When I go to said folder though on my own,

the file is there!

My frustration with computers has brought me to the brink of throwing

my computer out my window.

So....

Thanks for your time!

A Hopefully long lasting and soon to be happy customer,

Smilinsteve
