Hi Graham,
Thank you very much. This definitely hits the spot. You've saved me a
great deal of time (can you imagine having to do this manually on a
series which contains some 1800 to 2000 values)!
I am very grateful. Thank again for taking the time and effort (and
also finding the solution so quickly too).

Hi all,
Can anyone provide me with guidance.
I have a series of comma & space separated values in the format:-
542224452, 5422245#, 54222740, 54223425, 5422346, 542235, 54224140,
54224141#, 542244412, 542244413#, 542244414#, 542244415#,
542244416#, 542244417#, 542244418#.
I'd like use a find and replace function to find all the numbers
ending in a # and replace them with just the number (ie without the
#) but in bold (or another colour ie Red).
Any advice will be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
This is a related question: How can one search for the following string: "^p, followed by any 3 characters, followed by a space" and replace ONLY the space with a ^t?
I have not been able to use wildcards or other special search characters.
Thanks,
Merrill
