a,b,c is just a placeholder. It can be anything; wrt the OP, it is the same as
field1,field2,field3,field4

I am not sure if I have to start another thread or request for an answer in the same thread..

Just wondering how we can append tabs at the end of each line...
Data:
field1, field2, field3, field4
1 2
3 4 5

Append tab on field3 and field4 for the first row..and
Append tab on field4 for the second row.

Please advise...
