file type file to csv or sas dataset

[Smitha9]

Hi,

I have a file which is file type. I can open with notepad and word but I want to convert this to csv or a sas dataset. Can I do the file type to CSV or into SAS dataset?

thanks in advance.

Sounds like you have a dat or text file that you want to be CSV.
You would first need to import the data, which depends a bit on what your delimiter is and how the file is structured.
A couple of different options are in the post below:
