Are you saying that you do not need any delimiter? If so, load the file
into notepad and do a Find & Replace to change the comma to nothing (or
newline).

Alternatively, rename the file extension to .txt and in Excel use File
| Open and click on the .txt file (select All files *.* in the File
type panel). In the Data Import Wizard that opens automatically, you
will be guided through the process in 3 panels - you can specify comma
as the delimiter, which will put your data into separate columns.

Hope this helps.
