      Hi,

      I have been downloading fiels from seoMOZ for quite a while and I keep getting broken CSV files. ON my Mac, I wrote a script that cleaned them out but I cannot (don't know how) do this on the Windows side.

      The problem is that some of the record lines get broken up mainly in the "Anchor Text" field (maybe the anchor text in question contained a return). This of course messes up my file when I open it in Excel.

      Is there a way get/open these files without having them messed up like this?

      P..S. I am also seeing problem with text encoding, I would like to see the anchor text that is being diaplayed on the referring site rather than its HTML/Unicode/UTF-8 code value.

      TIA,

      Michel
