The data may be separated by commas or other characters. Very carefully and
clearly post a sample from JUST ONE LINE here so we can see it.

All the above is just from one line. The back slashes confuse me cuz im not
able to tell how many /'s goes in to one cell and even in this case: 'ENY / '
i dunno if eny and / goes in two seerate cells or just one. i appreciate your
concern. thank you

You posted the "title" line. Do the actual records also have those multiple
slashes?
