I am trying to import an ascii file into a database, and the stupid database
program won't recognize the comma-delimited fields, it only recognizes
tab-delimited files.

I'm trying to use BBEdit Lite's grep search to replace with tabs only those
commas not within quotes. I've looked at their grep tutorial, and I don't
see how to do it. Anybody know?

Yeah, it would probably be quicker to write an FB program to do it, but.....

Thanks,

Larry T
