rtf to text convert of tables
I'm converting thousands of resports from rtf to text using a utility
rtf2text. If they have tables they data extraced from them is not lining up at all. Is there any way I can improve the look of this? Eg after trf convert: BMD T SCORE Z SCORE CHANGE LUMBAR SPINE 0.983 -0.6 0.7 -3.9% LEFT HIP 0.950 0.1 0.9 -8.1% LEFT FOREARM 0.521 -0.9 0.4 Would like it to look like this: BMD T SCORE Z SCORE CHANGE LUMBAR SPINE 0.983 -0.6 0.7 -3.9% LEFT HIP 0.950 0.1 0.9 -8.1% LEFT FOREARM 0.521 -0.9 0.4 |

rtf to text convert of tables
You need a second step in your conversion: deal with the tabular data. If
the tables are all as simple as your example, it would be sufficient to insert tabs and define the style with a set of right-tab positions. "denise" wrote in message ...

rtf to text convert of tables
How would I do that? After the rtf conversion, how can it know where to put
tabs? Or would I have to do each manually? Thanks! "Jezebel" wrote: You need a second step in your conversion: deal with the tabular data.

rtf to text convert of tables
If the tables contain matchable patterns of characters, you can use Find and
Replace. In your example, you could search for 'any sequence of uppercase letters and spaces, followed by three groups of digits possibly with periods and signs' and insert tabs before the digit groups. Do a Google on using 'regular expressions' with Word's Find and Replace. "denise" wrote in message ... How would I do that? After the rtf conversion, how can it know where to put tabs?
