Thanks Walter. I think I'll work on a PHP script today to do it. It'll give me something to do on my telecommuting day!

Out of curiosity, do you regularly find reasons to view tab separated Excel "txt" files with BBEdit?

I find it nearly impossible except for columns of pure numbers with no interposed text items of varying length. Typewriters and 026 card punches have better setting facilities for tab stops.

I do this frequently, roundtripping between BBEdit & Excel because editing multiple fields in Excel is so painful, while viewing non-fixed-length tabular data in in BBEdit is difficult.
