Need some Search & Replace help

I bet! The delay in updating is down to the servers at MS. Depending on time
of day (probably related to traffic density at the time), it may take up to
20 mins before you see someone's post.

HI all. I need to do an unusual search and replace and need some
help. Hopefully this is fairly basic for most people.

I have strings of numbers, cd-track-index all grouped together
and I want to seperate them with tabs. So the list looks like
this: 231001
241002
253401
271501

They need to end up like this:

23 10 01
24 10 02
25 34 01
27 15 01

except with tabs instead of spaces. So I need to search for any 2
digits, then replace them with the SAME 2 digits + a tab
character. Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Really! That's interesting. I have never seen my posts until at least a
minute later and often anything up to 20 minutes later. I'm connected
directly to the MS Newsgroup server, of course, but that leaves me baffled
as to why it is slow over here then.

Well, a minute would be "immediately" enough for me. I rarely come back to
the same NG right away, but when I do return, my posts are always there.

That's hardly "immediately". To me immediately would mean "without
refreshing the newsgroup", which you are doing by exiting from the newsgroup
and then returning.

Well, given my current setup, I don't see *any* new headers (my own or
anyone else's) till I refresh the newsgroup. I just meant that as soon as I
send the post, I can go to the NG and it's there (in much the same way that
I can send an email to myself and receive it immediately by clicking Send
and Receive again).
