CONCATENATE involving CHAR(13) and CHAR(10): "" marks when copy/pasteto text editor [???]

[plh]

The result of this formula:
=CONCATENATE("#1=",W4,CHAR(13),CHAR(10),"GOTO665",CHAR(13),CHAR(10),"N5",Y4)
has quotation marks when copy pasted into a text editor, like so:
"#1=2
GOTO665
N553"
You can see that the CR/LF comes out but it adds the quotation marks.
Is there any cure for this?

Thanx,
-plh
PS:
I tried using only CHAR(13) in place of CHAR(13),CHAR(10) and also
CHAR(10) only, and also using cell references in place of the literal
strings, that is:
=CONCATENATE($Y$1,W3,CHAR(13),CHAR(10),$AA$1,CHAR(13),CHAR(10),$Z
$1,Y3)
but the result was the same.

You could use a macro to build the text file the way you want.

You could create a macro that exports the data the way you want.

Here are three sites that you could steal some code from:

Earl Kiosterud's Text Write program:
www.smokeylake.com/excel
(or directly: http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/text_write_program.htm)

Chip Pearson's:
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm

J.E. McGimpsey's:
http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/textfiles.html

(or maybe you could build your own formula and copy|paste into Notepad.)

Check out Earl's Text Write program first. It may do exactly what you want
right out of the box.

You can copy the value of the cell to another cell and then copy/paste
the value.
