This looks correct - have you selected the correct column to look in? You are looking with field “Blob” which doesn’t seem right to me, it should be a column with the text you are looking to replace

Thnx for coming back quickly :-)

 

Blob column is correct. Blob contains e.g. SAF | eMail: xxxxxxxx | Address: 1 Lincoln Place | Tel: 0123 456 1234 | Bill: $5.000

 

So, many rows exist. Trying to stadardise data because some rows say eMail. Others say eMa il etc. So, just cleaning Blob before splitting data using the pipe....

Ah got it — sounds like a smart move to clean it up first. Normalizing those little differences (like “eMail” vs “eMa il”) will save you a ton of headaches later when parsing. Once it’s standardized, splitting by the pipe should work perfectly. OneBloodRewards
