I have an Excel file that I need to convert to a fixed width, space delimited text file, however when I tried converting to a .prn file it is wrapping the columns that exceed 240 characters per line.

It has to text file with padded spaces or fixed width columns.

What other format can I use?

Any assistance much appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Hi

pnr files have this 240 character limit.

A solution id to write some vba code to write directly to the file.
