I'm not sure how to ask this but here it goes. I have Microsoft365 and am editing a document containing, a crochet pattern. Its a data dump from a designer to provide all instructions in a written form to help decipher a chart.
Below is an example showing the data dump:
==============================
B, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, dc, (scbl) x 3, dc, (scbl) x 3, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, dc, (scbl) x 13, dc, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, (scbl) x 7, dc, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, (scbl) x 3, dc, (scbl) x 3, dc, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, dc, (scbl) x 3, dc, (scbl) x 3, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, dc, (scbl) x 7, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, dc, (scbl) x 13, dc, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, (scbl) x 3, dc, (scbl) x 3, dc, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, B
==============================
Now there are multiple instances of the same stitch combination and the dump does not group them, so I am doing this for 301 rows, manually.... below is the edited result of the same row shown above:
===============================
B, * (dc) x 3, scbl, * x 14 / (dc) x 3, scbl, dc, (scbl) x 3, dc, (scbl) x 3, / * (dc) x 3, scbl, * x 2 / (dc) x 3, scbl, dc, (scbl) x 13, dc, scbl, / *(dc) x 3, scbl, * x 2 * / (dc) x 3, (scbl) x 7, dc, scbl, / * (dc) x 3, scbl, * x 6 / (dc) x 3, scbl, (dc) x 3, (scbl) x 3, dc, (scbl) x 3, dc, scbl, / *(dc) x 3, scbl,* x 3 / (dc) x 3, scbl, dc, (scbl) x 3, dc, (scbl) x 3, / *(dc) x 3, scbl, * x 7 / (dc) x 3, scbl, dc, (scbl) x 7, (dc) x 3, scbl, / (dc) x 3, scbl, / (dc) x 3, scbl, dc, (scbl) x 13, dc, scbl, / * (dc) x 3, scbl, * x 2 / (dc) x 3, (scbl) x 3, dc, (scbl) x 3, dc, scbl, / * (dc) x 3, scbl, * x 14 / (dc) x 3, B
=================================
I separated the sections with dashes /
I'm not looking for help in deciphering but I'm kind of far in the process and have decided that when reading the instructions (and my bad eyes) it would be much easier to make BOLD the / marks.
My question is there a find/replace or other function I don't know yet that can simply change any or all dashes to a BOLD format?
If you say VBA I'm going to cry unless I'm provided with the code and how to use or implement it because my knowledge of VBA is MINUS-MINUS-MINUS... .ZERO!
I hope you can help, or lead me in a direction with easy instructions.
Sincerely appreciate your time.
