I have a lexicon that was created in Word that needs a lot of processing. The data looks like this (this is the actual data, and there's around 200 pages of it so far, with more to come):
ab ab
blab (z,d) blab
dab (z,d) dab
drab drab
fab fab
flab flab
gab (z,d) gab
grab (z,d) grab
jab (z,d) jab
kab (z,d) cab
krab (z,d) crab
lab (z) lab
Every line should have an item enclosed in brackets after the first word.
Where this isn't the case, then the following needs to be inserted " (-,-) "
Everything I've tried so far with find & replace has given very odd results. I'm sure this should be easy, but I can't find the right way to do it, so any hep would be greatly appreciated.
