I'm trying to replace in a TXT files lines of the form:
xxxx@xyz.com or xxx@xyz.org
with
@xyz.com or @xyz.org
I can't seem to find the right combination of wildcards and other settings in Word 2013. Either nothing gets replaced, or I thousands of replacements for the form "@" (without the quotes.) Is there some set of replacements that will work or is there a better tool for this purpose?
These are the best guides I have found for Word find/replace wildcard use
Word - Replace using wildcards - GMayor
What is a Wildcard - ComputerHope
Finding and replacing characters using wildcards
Finding and replacing non-printing characters (such as paragraph marks), other special characters, and text formatting
and take a look at
How to prevent the built-in BrowseNext and RepeatFind commands from creating bad karma for wildcard searches
Flush bad karma from Words find facility after an unsuccessful wildcard search
All the best,
Denis
