    Converting text to delimited in order to copy to excel spreadsheet

    what is the best way to convert text in the form

    $01 01-02-03-04-05

    $02 01-02-03

    $03 01-02-03-04-05-06-07

    to something that I can copy into an Excel spreadsheet the way I would be able to do if it were delimited tabbed. Without manually delimiting the text.

    You could copy it in as it is and then use the text to columns feature to split it using the - as the delimiter.
