Default How do I change the format from one txt files to another txt file.

I have large txt files and need to change format from;
first,last,email,address,etc to a file with- email last first address.
Nothing but the 'tab' between. How can I do this with 'auto-format' feature?

Covert the text to a table, rearrange to suit, convert back to text.

Replace the commas with a tab after it's converted back.
