The issue at hand, I believe is my comprehension of using regular
expression, specially to assist in replacing the expression with other text.
using regular expression (\s*) my understanding is that this will one or
more occurrences to replace all the white space between with a comma.
This search
ElseIf InStr(1, indivline, "$") Then
insert a replace statement that uses the regular expression to find and
replace all the white space between the character sets
returns
C$ NTFS 34168 18461 15707 'there could be one or more
occurrences. No problem finding them
leading spaces before the C$
spaces between C$ and NTFS
tab and spaces after NTFS and first set of numbers
spaces between remaining sets of numbers (not always consistent on the
number of spaces) and ending with a carriage return
using regular expression (\s*) my understanding is that this will one or
more occurrences to replace all the white space between with a comma.
I have imported system.text.regularexpression
issue is I am just not getting it trying to use the regular expression, but
I believe it is the better solution. 3 3195

Thank You
Yes this did help, although I didn't use the exact same string as below.
Followed the links to a neat tool called "The Regulator" and was able to
build the regular expression pattern. Now to get the replace to work with
regular expressions.

Thanks for all the assistance, have the console app and running, it
completed its task in just over 6 minutes, compare that over 2 hours for
what one person wrote using java (another example why java is really a
virus) oooops, am I gonna pay for that remark.
