Using regex with Text To Columns

Is it possible to define your delimiter with regex in the Text To Columns tool?

@roadhouse,

 

How about this.....

 

Use regex to convert patterns to a single delimiter, '|' (pipe).  Then use the text to columns tool with the pipe as your delimiter.

 

I think that it accomplishes what you are setting out to do.  Otherwise, I think that you would need to know how many delimiters are present and you could use the regex tool and use the parse option.

 

Cheers,

Mark
