      Hi everyone,

      Could anybody help me with the following?

      I’d like to find the 3d and 5th TAB in a record and change it into –
      Example:

      04-08-2013 1 PEC Zwolle Feyenoord 2 1 Ruben Schaken

      should be:

      04-08-2013 1 PEC Zwolle-Feyenoord 2-1 Ruben Schaken

      Thanks a lot!

      Hi Rudd,

      Try this… if I had understood your text sequence.

      GREP Find Change:
      Find what: ^(.+?)(.+?)(.+?)()(.+?)(.+?)()
      Change to: $1$2$3-$5$6-

      In case it didn’t work, please specify the tab locations in your text.
