Hey There,
Personally I would most often use a Text Filter and a little Perl, although it
depends upon the context. (See appended script. See “Text Filter” in the
manual if you don't know how to use them.)
NOTE: JJ's example text's tab separators got turned into spaces by the web. (At
least in Apple Mail.)
Canon files can be a bit confusing, until you've used them a few times – but
they can be very useful.
As Bruce suggested – a Text Factory
is also a perfectly viable option.
