Excel 2007:

I have an app which outputs several rows, with pipe delimiters, into an ascii text file on a quarterly basis.

row example:  NAME|ADDRESS|CITY|DESCRIPTION|AMOUNT|

I’m currently importing this file on a manual basis into a blank spreadsheet, using the following commands:

Data, Import from Text, {Wizard Step 1} Delimited, {Next} {Wizard
Step 2} Delimiter Type = Other = |, Text Qualifier = None, {Next}
{Wizard Step 3} Column Format = General, {Finish} {Accept} {File, Save
As, FileName}

I would like to automate all these manual steps when opening up a blank sheet.
