UltraEdit, UltraCompare, UEStudio forums

Hi, all. I've searched the forum and not seen this problem described. I've done a lot of searches like the one I'm attempting now with no problems. But suddenly when I do a this search: *specific phrase*^t*[0-9]*^t*[0-9]* It returns the lines I'm looking for, but with the tabs converted to spaces. D...

That worked great. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi, all. I have a csv file that's choking my db manager, mostly I believe because it's comma-delimited with double quotes for text qualifiers and scattered records have double quotes within the data. For example: 2000,"Thomas "Tom" Jefferson","etc." Is there a way to search with regular expressions ...

Regarding the ASCII/ANSI/Unicode question, I don't really know. The characters I encountered looked like squares (or maybe rectangles) in ultraedit. The records are fixed-width, which is why I'd like to replace the bad characters with spaces. There's punctuation in the data, so I'd need to keep more...

Am I right? pietzcker: I've got a total of 12 record types in the files I'm using. Reading your program, I'm thinking I could just copy a...

Not really. I tried the list lines option, but with the gargantuan files I'm working with (I think the biggest is 6 gb), it seemed to take forever. I think I need to learn PERL or Python.

I thought about the "list line" option, but I'm going to have 300,000 to 400,000 lines per file that I need to copy, and that seemed like too much for the clipboard.

Swapping the locations of "ExitLoop" and "EndLoop" did work. Thanks.

I have a number of multiple-gb text files that I want to import into a database manager. They are nested files containing a dozen different types of records, each of which has a different layout. The 12th and 13th characters in each line denote what type of record the line is. I would like to copy a...
