I have another, what is probably a simple task, but I can’t figure it out :( I need to remove the first TAB in a list: eg: TEXT1 <TAB> TEXT2 <TAB> TEXT3 <TAB> TEXT4 And I want to get it to read as per the example: eg: TEXT1 TEXT2 <TAB> TEXT3 <TAB> TEXT4 Thank you all again in advance :) January 17, 2017 at 11:14 am #91327 Ari SingerMember There are numerous ways to achieve that, but this is what I concocted on the fly: Find What: (^.+?)(\t) Change To: $1 Please note that this will delete the tab but not put in a space in its place. If you want to add a space use this in the Change To field: $1\s January 18, 2017 at 9:52 am #91410 Paul WilliamsParticipant Thanks Ari :) Author Posts Viewing 2 reply threads You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
