trying to parse to Excel...

[Ben]

I am trying to create a simple script that will open a file (based
upon date) in a default directory and convert it to an Excel
spreadsheet.  This file will contain hundreds of lines of text - each
line will have approximately 18 items separated by commas.

This is the code I have developed so far:
from win32com.client import Dispatch
import string, sys

xlApp = Dispatch("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = 1
xlApp.Workbooks.Add()

file=open("Test.txt", "r")
lines=file.readlines()
file.close()
x=1
y=1
for line in lines:
    parms=string.split(line, ",")    
    parms[0]
    for i in xrange(18):        
        xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(x,y).Value = parms[i]
        y=y+1
    x=x+1
    y=1

The script finds the file, opens Excel and populates the first row. 
BUT, it does not continue to loop through the file and populate the
other rows.  I am relatively new to Python and would appreciate any
advice that you may have.  Should you need additional information,
please let me know.

With much thanks,
Ben
