The attached program can be used to create an edge list for NodeXL that consists of recombined text from a tab-delimited list. If you have this list, for example, where the spaces shown are actually tab characters:
A B C
D E F G
...then the program will create this list of pairs:
A B
B C
D E
E F
F G
To use the program, follow these steps:
1) Copy your list to the Clipboard. In Excel, an easy way to do this is to store the list in a plain Excel workbook, select the list, and press Control+C.
2) Double-click the RecombineRows4.exe program in Windows Explorer. This generates the list of pairs and stores it back in the Clipboard.
3) In a NodeXL workbook, select the first empty cell in the Vertex 1 column on the Edges worksheet and press Control+V. This inserts the list of pairs into the Edges worksheet.
