In fact, if you have MS Office, you may right-click on any table on IE and choose <b>Export to Microsoft Excel</b>. Afterwords, most of the times, the necessary tweaking will be minimal. (I used this for the previous challenge and just had to delete one row and use Replace All to substitute commas for points in the numeric columns, because in Portugal the decimal separator is a comma.)Luís Miguel Viterbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198394145108636883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-2116578746304418182013-07-16T20:53:15.506-07:002013-07-16T20:53:15.506-07:00unicode, nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) t...<i>unicode, nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) to be transformed into a deterministic finite automaton (DFA)</i><br />… Dan, see those tiny little nubby green things in the distance in your rearview mirror? — those are the weeds you passed through to arrive at this post… at least for me.
