Anybody know how to format the following?

Hi,

I need to either format the following so that each will left justify OR be able to insert the two columns into tables. As I have 27,000 entries, copying and pasting into tables is ruled out. Any way to automate it?

Thanks.

i assume the BBS did a fine job of left justifying your data for you

Tricks to mess with formatting of wierd whitespace
you can paste it into word,
Search and Replace "<space><space>" with <space>. This will melt down whitespace.
replace "<Paragraph><space>" with <paragraph>. (use more->'special' Paragraph mark or just ^p)
That should give you a normalized list. Then do whatever it is you want to do with it.
