Hi Arctic,
I'd try opening the file in Writer and replace tab with tab+string. That will take care of all but the first cell. Then replace paragraph start with paragraph start+string.

I'm trying to do a search and replace using regular expressions on a single selection of cells in OpenOffice.Org 2.0.1. It's not working. :-P I am working on tab-delimited files, and am trying to insert a string into the beginning of each of the cells. In all the other programs I use, this is done by using:

Search: ^
Replace: string

But this claims that there were no results found.

Instead, I thought I could do this:

Search: ^(.)
Replace: String \1

But then I just get huge amounts of "String \1" in each cell, sometimes only one, sometimes 3 or more occurances of that string into a cell.

How can I fix this? I am obviously doing something incorrectly, but I don't know what.
