Default Converet plain text to table

I would start by using wildcards to replace any number of spaces with a tab,
then use Table | Convert | Table to Text, separating at tabs. If the Replace
operation results in multiple tabs between elements, replace those with a
single tab before converting.

I have a "table" in plain text like this:

1. [name] [surname] 0:36:27
2. [another name] [and surname] 0:46:27
3. [third name] [and surname] 1:03:42
4. [and so one...] 2:04:18

Whe
- After the order number there is an empty space
- Between [name] [surname] there is an empty space
- Between [surname] [time] there are empty spaces and/or tab characters.

Is there a simple way to convert it to a table (I don't know VBA)?
