    Find and Replace?

    Hi all,

    I have a database export that contains names and emails (i attach a test sample). Unfortunately the list of records (around 1100) are not formatted and are just in one column and would take a long time to manually edit. Is there a way I can separate the names and the email (or emails) from the other characters and transfer them into separate columns (e.g. Name, Email1, Email2, Email 3) for easy storage and usage?

    I have no idea if this can be done easily but I would really appreciate some guidance.

    Cheers in advance!
