Hello,
I'm fairly new to revit, I was trying to find a way to modify a family and I'm having some issues.
I found this link: http://revitrandoms.blogspot.com/2011/09/family-catalogues-in-excel.html
So I modified the contents of
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RST 2015\Libraries\US Imperial\Structural Columns\Stee\W-Wide Flange-Column.txt
And it says it cant read them:
,W##other##,A##area##inches,d##length##inches,bf##length##inches,tw##length##inches,tf##length##inches,k##length##inches W44X335,335,98.5,44.0,15.9,1.03,1.77,2.56 W44X290,290,85.4,43.6,15.8,0.865,1.58,2.36 W44X262,262,77.2,43.3,15.8,0.785,1.42,2.20 W44X230,230,67.8,42.9,15.8,0.710,1.22,2.01
Whats wrong?

Save your txt catalog file with ANSI encoding instead of Unicode.
You will see there are some additional 'question mark' characters in the header which make the problem:
bf##?length##inches
tf##length##inch?es
Delete them, or just use this header line:
,W##other##,A##area##inches,d##length##inches,bf##length##inches,tw##length##inches,tf##length##inches,k##length##inches
