Hi all, I am problems editting a fairly complex file - Endnote output file. The file contains a set of publication identifiers e.g. Author, title journal etc. I am having problems with the keyword field. Each of the fields is separed by a tab allowing for import into a mysql table. However, the keyword field contains mulitple entries which are separated by a carriage return. Simple example 
1    John Doe, joe blogs,   title   journal    Animal
Female
Protein
2       Fred.......

[download]
The keyword field starts at Animal followed by carriage return Female then Protein. I need to replace these carriage returns with tabs but retaining the carrigae return separating the entries i.e. between Protein and 2. Any suggestions would be great
