Default Need some Search & Replace help

Well, a minute would be "immediately" enough for me. I rarely come back to
the same NG right away, but when I do return, my posts are always there.

Really! That's interesting. I have never seen my posts until at least a
minute later and often anything up to 20 minutes later. I'm connected
directly to the MS Newsgroup server, of course, but that leaves me baffled
as to why it is slow over here then.

I always see my own posts immediately after sending.

I bet! The delay in updating is down to the servers at MS. Depending on

time
of day (probably related to traffic density at the time), it may take

up
to
20 mins before you see someone's post.

Because of the time Outlook Express takes to update the current

group,
I
had no way of knowing he had posted - however the rest bit is

probably
true - I had been moving a lime tree to a new location and was
knackered

A wildcard search for

([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})
replace with
\1^t\2^t\3
should do the trick

HI all. I need to do an unusual search and replace and need

some
help. Hopefully this is fairly basic for most people.

I have strings of numbers, cd-track-index all grouped together
and I want to seperate them with tabs. So the list looks like
this: 231001
241002
253401
271501

They need to end up like this:

23 10 01
24 10 02
25 34 01
27 15 01

except with tabs instead of spaces. So I need to search for any

2
digits, then replace them with the SAME 2 digits + a tab
character. Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Scott
