Good afternoon M Samart89,
Thank you for your response.
Would you give me some concrete examples of the search and replace commands in notepad++. I have never really worked with a text in notepad.
The spaces are the empty lines between definition text; I don't know why the definition is not consecutive lines of text and if you have to eliminate these lines.
Look for the first beginning(string)headword on the line with the bracket "[" following the string headword; if found insert a tab,otherwise,continue to next line. This would be the english language instruction set(or something similar to this) to be put into code for tab delimiting the text file. I am not sure where you would insert the tab.
What would have been a "high quality" text file?
Are you really suggesting manual modification to this voluminous text file?
Cordially,
dk
