andyone got a mac app that will convert some tabbed text into an html table?

Open the file in Excel. Export to HTML. Look at the markup and realize you should have just done the table from scratch. :)

- Does it turn out much better than the above option?ETM
- yes, very cleanacescence
- Good to know. Haven't tried using DW for something like that since MX and it was a mess.ETM
- i never try to use the wysiwyg editor though, just code by hand with it mostly. i have a feeling that stuff would be scaryacescence

also, grep. Lots of text editors have grep search and replace in them.

Yeag - Dreamweaver. "Import Tabular Data" or something. I used to have to do that more times than I care to remember when putting annual reports online.

Like heavyt said, good editors like Coda have solid find/replace. Just another option if you don't have Dreamweaver handy.

actually after trying 5 different apps and several other solutions that didn't work very well - as the solution is needed for a client to copy tabbed infortaion form word into a content management sustem that obviously doesn't like the extraneous crap word adds in i found a solution.
i am hosting it on my web space for anyone else that might need this streamline solution:

it's different in that i couldn't find a good solution after a few hours of googleing and trying what i found. as the solution had to be simple and fast – as it was for a client – it was worth asking around. i think the one i found and have hosted for anyone to grab the code is excellent.

all i was trying to point out in the previous threat was that people seem to be less and less reliant on themselves these days. obviously that went down like busterboys mum at a cop convention so i whole heartedly apologise for my social commentary.

What's more annoying than a pretentious Kiwi from Queensland attempting to be witty?
cue the muzak.
- a non-pretentious kiwi that, in the current company, is in fact witty? is that more annoying? tell me.airey
- Possibly...but there's just none of them to be found. The rest are bunked at Bondi bludging off welfare...BusterBoy
- but you said qld, and as we know bondi is in nsw.airey
- You're the odd one out then.BusterBoy
- Although you Kiwis are very balanced people...cheps on both shoulders.BusterBoy
