I have a series of lines, names and address type stuff that came out in a funky format. To now import them into another system I need to put quotes (" ") around all the lines EXCEPT first and last line in a series.

Each series is separated by 1 or 2 blank lines

I am using the latest UltraEdit 12.20a+2 and could not figure out a viable regular expression yet based on what I have seen it seems like there should be one with the new Perl compatible engine.

thanks for any help and ideas

Alan


Sample:

sdfsa, bas,fsdf,adf,adsfafds,asdf,
ddflk,asd,df
sadfasdf,sadf,sdf
sadsadf,adfs,adsf


df adsf,sadf,asdf,sadf,sadf,
32 das fadf,adf
sa,df sadf

asdd fad fasdfasdfasdf,asd
23324 dsaf
3232,adfs,sadf,dsd
233223,4sd,asdf,sad
2323sd,dsf ,,dsfadfasdfsadf



sdfsa, bas,fsdf,adf,adsfafds,asdf,
ddflk,asd,df
sadfasdf,sadf,sdf
sadsadf,adfs,adsf


df adsf,sadf,asdf,sadf,sadf,
32 das fadf,adf
sa,df sadf

asdd fad fasdfasdfasdf,asd
23324 dsaf
3232,adfs,sadf,dsd
233223,4sd,asdf,sad
2323sd,dsf ,,dsfadfasdfsadf



Turn the above into:


sdfsa, bas,fsdf,adf,adsfafds,asdf,
"ddflk,asd,df"
"sadfasdf,sadf,sdf"
sadsadf,adfs,adsf


df adsf,sadf,asdf,sadf,sadf,
"32 das fadf,adf"
sa,df sadf

asdd fad fasdfasdfasdf,asd
"23324 dsaf"
"3232,adfs,sadf,dsd"
"233223,4sd,asdf,sad"
2323sd,dsf ,,dsfadfasdfsadf
