Process:
- Identify PMID (Tokenize on "PMID.\s(\d{8})")
- Identify Authors (Tokenize on "FAU\s-\s(.+)")
- Add "|" after each author
- Remove Null records
- Add field "Author"
- Copy down PMID to null records
- Actions above are to allow for crosstab
- Crosstab on '1' (PMID), with Author as Name and Field_11 as Value
- Split "Author" to field for each author
- Remove leading comma from authors
- Replace Nulls with empty cell
- Cleanup and sort
