I have data from an old data logger that unfortunately contains no easy separators to use for parsing in a spreadsheet program like excell. The data consits of one column that has a string of numbers followed by a return then the time stamp for the string followed by another return and then the next data string. Is there an easy way for Origin to break this up and remove the returns and split the time stamp data and number data into two different columns?

If I understand correctly, when you import the data to Origin it ends up in a single column with alternating data and time stamp values. If you imported the file to column A you can use this LabTalk command...

copy -u col(A) col(B) col(C);

to copy the data values to column B and the time stamps to column C.
