Windows 10: .csv Format And Notepad Question ?

Hello,

I have a radio control programs that uses files copied from various sources
to control a sw radio.

But, these files must be in .csv format.

(perhaps I should be saying that the data in the file must be in .csv format)

Let's say I have done a COPY from a web source that has fields like Station, Frequency, Time...etc.

I tried pasting into Notepad, but cannot come up with how to Save this file as a .csv

It's apparently doable, as I have several very old files that the program uses just fine,
and are apparently Notebook files.

The files have a .txt extension on their name,
but are obvious .csv formatted, as they have all the commas or semicolons
between Station, Frequency, etc. fields..

Can anyone please guide me thru this, and how to csv "format" data that has been Pasted/Saved into Notepad ?

Thanks,
Bob

Windows 10 Character Map and Notepad


Well I found the answer to my question. I should have thought through this a little longer.

Notepad is native in ANSI mode.
However Wordpad can work in UTF-8 mode.
I found steps to make Notepad usable in UTF-8 mode but there are a lot of steps and once again there has to be a registry hack to make it work.
Now how do I make Workpad be listed in the most used application through the Start Menu?
