Please help me with an easier solution!
Hi,
This is my first post here and I hope I will find some good solutions here on this forum. I have started using Skype and wanted to export some of the chats in a word document. I figured that's not possible with Skype, unlike some other chatting softwares that give such an option. So, I decided to copy-paste my conversation from Skype directly into a word file. Now, this is what I see (an example of a chat pasted in a word file): [21/06/2011 16:10:42] A [21/06/2011 16:34:32] B [21/06/2011 16:34:51] C [21/06/2011 16:34:52] D [21/06/2011 16:34:56] E [21/06/2011 16:35:10] F [21/06/2011 16:35:14] G [21/06/2011 16:35:18] H [21/06/2011 16:35:23] I [21/06/2011 16:35:25] J [21/06/2011 16:35:27] K [21/06/2011 16:35:29] L [21/06/2011 16:35:32] M [21/06/2011 16:35:41] N [21/06/2011 16:35:43] O [21/06/2011 16:35:47] P [21/06/2011 16:35:50] Q But, I obviously do not want the date and the time in the word file. Is there a way that I can remove the date and time using some sort of a 'formula' in word instead of going to each line and erasing it off? Deleting each part in each line will be too much time consuming. Please help. My chats are usually long conversations sometimes and I need a simple solution! Thanks for your help. |

Hi Inquisitor,
You could use a wildcard Find/Replace, where: Find = \[[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{4} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}\] Replace = nothing
