Hi Aaron. I’m stuck trying to accomplish what we discussed in March.

The notes that I made in the margin of last years file isn’t accomplishing the goal of replacing first & last space of line with a tab.

My notes:
Find — Change: GREP

Find what:
(\d\d/d\d\d

Change to:
$1

(Changes first space in string to tab)

Find what:
([^ ]+)$
$1
———————–
When trying the above script it gives me “cannot find match” right off the bat, I believed I had the key to changing the first space to a tab (perhaps is expired like milk:).
Sorry to be a pain, but if you could list the string to make it go, I’d appreciate it.
