Need help converting CSV to Double Precision binary

I have a 3 collumn comma seperated list of numbers in a text file. I
need to convert these numbers so that they are double precision values
in a regular binary file so one number directly follows the next and
next and so on but in double precision binary values instead of ascii.
Anyone know anyway to do this?

I don't even know wth you said.

Don't know of any freeware to do this directly, it would be reasonably easy
to program something to do this though. A great help, I think is to know
some of the reasoning behind this, are the number to just run into one
another, with no seperation, perhaps then read back as a sequestial file?

With a 3-line basic program maybe :-)
The hardest thing to find out is, what 'regular binary' is
supposed to mean :-)
(But a simple example may solve that.)

Like others said: you should tell what 'double precision binary values'
means for your needs.

You don't mention what you have available to do your task. If you have
Basic, you could...

1. Null array counter

2. Open text file for sequential input

3. END if EOF

4. Bump array counter

5. Read next ASCII number as a string

6. Assign the VAL of that string to a double precision array element

7. GOTO 3

I'll leave it to you to figure out how to get the array into a file :)
