Yes but what is it that you want? And by identical presumably you mean the formatting is identical so giving that exact format makes things even easier, e.g.

Rather than 'some numbers, space, some more numbers', etc.

Well,

What I have is a situation where between some tabs I only have numbers and a space so I thought was a good way to define where I need the action to take place. In other parts of each line I have numbers (address numbers etc.) and letters.

I would assume each zipcode<space>phonenumber has the same number of digits but if I look through each line to confirm that I may a well put the tabs in while I'm doing it.

That's why I said all I need is to replace that one space with a tab.

Once I get that done I can bring the file into Filemaker and massage it a little more, confirming that no records have missing data fields etc.

and all of this is because a nimrod (windows/linux) consultant never installed the export functions on a clients computer so the data could be exported from Entourage.

Thanks for your help/feedback.
