copy and paste to MS Word
find and replace - ctrl+h
find: ^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^# <==change number of ^# if the actural domain name on the list fall into such length.
replace: *space*
replace all
keep doing that until it dies
then find: *space*^#
replace: *null*
replace all
keep doing it until it dies

*space* = a space
*null* = nothing
^# = wildcard for any number on Word

Do any of the domain names start with numbers?

Does each line START with the domain name?

Also, is all the garbage you don't want of fixed length?

Wow, that was quick responses guys!

I will try the options. Yes, some names start with numbers.

thanks again,

It all depends on the size of his input data as to what will and will not work. Anything that uses 'copy and paste' will fall over with a large data set in Windows. If all the domains are at the start of lines then the job is dead easy even if there are millions of lines.

Dale, thanks again. Yes , all the domains are at start of the page.

Why don't you chuck the file up as a .zip on one of these free uploading sites, then I'll get it, strip out the rubbish and send you the file.

I do it so, first I use list cleanup and then I use this program called
list detective by "local whois" - very helpfull tool. it supports .com, .net, .org its very old program, and I don`t know where i got it, but it works
