Hi
if you are using origin I suggest to use import wizard at new worksheet, if you are using excel simple open the file by excel (in "open file" window at the bottom select "all files *.*" in the line "Files of type") and follow the importing procedure, step by step.
good luck

Subject: [Ifeffit] Getting data from athena

Hi ,
           I tried the method as told by Bruce & Scott to get the data from Athena and then plot it into Excel or Origin. I got the data of chi(R) in different columns in a notepad file but when I try to copy it in Origin or Excel all the column values got copied into one column , Thus I am not getting the required plot. Please tell me how to get the data plotted in some other plotting software.
