Hi, regular expressions will be your friend:
For example, how can I strip away the names of the states in this string and only keep he two character abbreviations?
(In my file the state names and abbreviations are separated by a tab.)
Alabama AL Alaska AK Arizona AZ Arkansas AR California CA
search for: ^[^\t]*?\t
and replace by ""
and press "Replace All"
Also...how could I turn this string:
AL AK AZ AR CA
into: AL¶AK¶AZ¶AR¶CA
search for: \n
and replace by: ¶
and press "Replace All"
Best, Hans
