Even though your last capture is allowed to repeat because of
the (...)+, it only becomes one \# capture variable.
The key thing is to repeat the "\t\t(.*)\n" but allow the repeat
to be optional, plus not incidentally capture the wrong stuff:
(?:\t\t(.*?)\n)?
This is the repeating optional match after the first match under
Access Code. What's the maximum number of Access Codes you'd
encounter? Make sure you have that many optional repeats of
that sub-pattern, and capture \# variables in the replacement pattern.
The '?:' after the first opening parens of that sub-pattern
keeps it from being captured into a \# variable.
Access Codes\n\t\t(.*?)\n(?:\t\t(.*?)\n)?(?:\t\t(.*?)\n)?(?:\t\t(.*?)\n)?\n
Matches your first two records and
REPLACE: \1\t\2\t\3\t\4\t\5\t\6\t\8\t\9\t\10\t\11\n
Again, this could be simplified and made sturdier for heavy use,
and I didn't test it on your remaining sample records.
