Hello,
I have a large text file where 2 lines (fields) form a record. Now I want to merge the 2 lines into one line seperated by a comma.
Line1 Line2
The fields should be seperated by a comma.
Line1,Line2
How can I define a keystroke that will, add a comma at the end of Line1 perform a JOIN of Line1 and Line2 move the cursor to the next record?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
