hi Samuel,
the ?C¡° is the abbreviation for ?Comma¡° - and Excel handles files with the ending .csv correctly if the columns are delimited by commas. But it also copes with Tabs and takes those as separators if it finds them I think. I just had to do both, using the import way.
When opening directly Commas work - haven¡¯t tried files with Tabs inside.

I realise that it a csv file and I have Excel (not that I know much about it), but I need to know how to get something that is printable and makes sense.
A reliable way to open a CSV in Excel is to "import" the "data" from it. In Excel 2016, for example, go to the Data tab, and select "From Text/CSV".
If you try to open a CSV file in Excel directly, then Excel will make certain assumptions about it (for example, that the "C" in "CSV" is somehow an abbreviation for "tab").
