Hi Everyone,
Windows Firewall creates a PFirewall.Log file which can be opened by Notepad.  
This file tracks what is going on within my desktop.  I would like to have each 
column go into a separate column in another application such as word or excel 
so I can sort,  summarize and follow data on a specific column.  This report 
has date, time, action, protocol, SRC-IP, SRC-Port, DST-Port.
Each column is separated by a space.  Does anyone know how I can use Jaws to 
import this text file so that each column on text report can go into a separate 
column in Excel?
I think this term is called delimiting.  Presently, when I copy the entire 
report to clipboard and paste into Excel all columns go into first column.   
Thanks,
Ann
