I've been searching around for a while trying to figure out how to output a CSV file in such a way to force Excel to interpret the values as a string and not try to convert them to numbers or dates.
e.g.:
"141", "10/11/2002", "350.00", "1311742251"
Excel tries to "intelligently" convert all these to its native date/number formats. Is there a way around that?
EDIT: Clarified the intent of my question, sorry for confusion.
