Are there quotes, commas, or returns within "cells"? If not, you can do a simple replace. Geoffs matchtext will only work if every cell is in quotes (note to the advanced reader: It can easily be adapted to work for fixed columns to be or not to be in quotes, but that may not be the case) and you'll have to do it "by hand". How much do you know about the data? Is this a one time thing or are you importing this data on a regular basis.
