Print it out and hold it up to a mirror.

just write a php script to do it. If you don't know how I'll write it for 10 bucks

find a text editor with regular expressions, then do a search and replace to something like:

find: (.*);(.*)
-- where ";" is the separator
replace \2;\1

Excel, you could do something like:

paste everything in column "a".
hilight column a, then go to "data" -> text to columns -> delimited and then choose your delimeter
in like column g you could combine back the values:
in column g: =concatenate(c1 & ";" & b1)
then use the fill down function in the g column.

dream weaver, many html editors, have regex expression handling to do this for you.

You are a fuckin genius

GFY is the best place to get advice on everything!!

This worked almost as well as the mirror trick

I may not understand this but off the top of my head this would work (incase you want to do it in php ever):

PHP Code:

// Assuming $buffer has the contents of your file...

$exp = explode("@@", $buffer); // Pack this into an array...

// By default, $exp[0] would be the first part...

// So instead we just use $exp[1] first... :)

echo $exp[1].$exp[0];

Quicker than the mirror trick, too... and doesn't waste paper, LOL

Sorry, GFy screwed it up a bit.

echo $exp [ 1 ] . $exp [ 0 ];

try that
