 * Help!
 * I am very much a PHP novice, but highly familiar with the workings of WordPress
   and i’m having a bit of bother.
 * Building a site for a lettings agent and utilising a data feed that comes in 
   the form of a .BLM file. Basically this is a csv file with the information for
   the properties listed. I have managed to get the site up and running by manually
   importing the file into Excel and exporting and uploading as a csv before utilising
   WP All Import to covert the data as required on site. However, I am not at the
   end stages of the build and the file type change needs to be automated. I have
   read some information about fgetcsv – would this help me? Or do I need to add
   some PHP within wordpress to tell it how to deal with the file before it reaches
   WP All Import?
 * To top it off, the file itself has line breaks that I can’t fix via excel. Basically
   the line break is seen as a new row rather than continuing the previous line.
 * I am at a bit of a loss. Can anyone help me?
 * Thanks,
 * Steph
