X regular expression

Find what: ', '
Replace with: '\t'

Note ? space after comma.

Cross fingers.

Replace all.



When in doubt in a case like this you could create an example and copy and paste into the search tool.

The HOW-TOs forum is not the the right one in which to ask questions. As it says in one place:
Instructional HowTos, posted by users. No questions here please
and in another:
PLEASE DO NOT POST QUESTIONS HERE

But here is an answer:

Search | Replace... (<F8>):
Find what: _ [Replace the underscore with a space]
Replace with: \t

[X] Regular expression

Replace All
