Hi,

I've written a query that I need to distribute the results of in a text file with no tabs.

My current process is to run the query, copy and past it into anotepad and then remove all of the Tabs.

Trouble is I now have over 3000 lines of data and I don't want to manually remove all of the TABS from the text document (would take too long)

Anybody know a way around this??
 
export it as a csv and use something else as delimiter, maybe the old "," perhaps?

Can't you use Edit->Replace in Notepad? You might need to first find and copy a "tab" into your clipboard and then paste it into the "Find What".
