Well, it all depends. But iff each field is guaranteed to NOT have a quote in it then the following should work: %s/"\([^"]\+\)","\([^"]\+\)","\([^"]\+\)"/\1 \& \2 \& \3/ when the fields do contain quotes you're out of luck and I don't know how it will work on fields that have newlines in them. -- groetjes, carel
