Your Subject line talks about Split and Join while the body of your
message talks about Replace. Even assuming you are asking about all of
them, I'm afraid I'm still not following what you are trying to do.
Could you post a couple or three of **actual** lines from your text file
(cut and paste them) and then show us **exactly** what you would want
those lines to look like once they are changed? That will clue us in to
exactly what you want to do without getting lost in the verbal
description.
