The field separator for table in LaTeX is an ampersand "&". 
That said, I usually use "awk" command to strip out all LaTeX 
intrinsic markups. The exact command is "awk -F& {print....}" but 
it's best if you do man to look up for its use. It works very well
for me, well, for the most of time...

Just one of a few tricks I've learned before EXCEL in M$ Windows
ever became popular...[not that I ever use Excel].
