[QUOTE="lysanderspooner, post: 843728, member: 100328"] i have a text file that i am converting into tab delimited data so that i can import it into a database. the file contains a number of email addresses which are separated by only a preceding blank space, which i want to replace with a tab. it's easy enough to find spaces and replace them with ^t (for a tab) in Word, and i could probably figure out how to search for random email addresses using wildcards, but i can't figure out how to find email addresses and then replace only the space with a tab while leaving the email address intact. i've found several utilities that strip email addresses out of text, but they just dump them into a new file and everything else is lost. there must be a simple way to do this. any help will be greatly appreciated.
