    Hi Aaron.

    I believe I had a slash incorrect in the first part of the script. That part is now perfect!

    When changing the last space, it does insert the tab before the $ amount. The only rub is if the charge is over 999.99 (or 4 digits then decimal), it doesn’t perform the “remove space add tab”, it just deletes the space. It’s not a big deal, I have to give the thing a once over anyway, there may be 25 entries where the charge is that large.

    I appreciate your assistance immensely. This will easily save me 12 hours of going thru statements and summarizing them manually not to mention eliminating the error rate doing it manually with a calculator.

    Thanks Aaron!

    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.

    It worked awesomely! Thanks David! That took all the fun out of placing the pages, click, click, click. That’s exactly what I was looking for. If you could explain a little about that script from R Dal. I found it but I have no idea what to do with it. Thanks.

    Good day Aaron. That’s a great detailed explanation. I appreciate your assistance tremendously and the explanation is priceless. I wish I could repay the favor. I was a Quark user from 1990 til approx 2000 and have been working with InDesign since it’s creation. It’s impressive what can be done within this program. Thanks!

    Thanks to both Erica & Aaron for your assistance. Aaron’s worked beautifully. Aaron, can you please explain what that code actually means. I’d like to learn the logic behind it. This will save me so much time going forward on itemizing the credit card statement. It’s amazing that in 2019 the cc companies don’t give you the tools to itemize by vendor but it’s what it is. Thanks again!
