Re: Nessus to Excel

[Christoph Puppe <puppe () hisolutions com>]

Salve,

just a thing the other postings seem to not have covered. Or I'm the only
one to always have this problem :)

Some Descriptions have a "half-return" aka carriage return w/o linefeed (or
other way around. This is considered a end of line with excel and access.

So to prep the data for the import I use emacs to replace all "^M" to a
";", then the all lines get imported without problems.

And, btw, use access, it can do acts of magic on the raw data ;)

For a comparison of vuln-ass tools see:
