I¹ve got a client that needs a members directory formatted ­it goes
something like this:

[First name] [Last name]
[Address], [Postal]
[E-mail]
[Web site]

Rather than going through 200+ records and doing it manually, is there a quick way to do it?

If you give me some more information, I can probably help. What format is the data in now and what do you need it in? Is it HTML already? Do you have or can you allow NULL values in any of those fields? If you can get it into something like Excel, a database format, or even comma (or space, tab, whatever) delimited, it'll be easier to convert and format. I can help you through some regex as well, if your current format lends itself to regex extraction. Let us know what you have to work with and we can give you better ideas.
