Actually this thread can now be disregarded. I just found a solution to my problem using this regular expression and notepad++. I went and reverted my previous edits and started fresh with the file.

Code:
^([0-9]{4,9}+\s)([#_0-9A-Za-z]+(\s))

I then replace with:

$1,$2,

What I was trying to do is solved.

I also thank you guys for your replies. They are educational for me and now I know a little bit more about scripting. I certainly appreciate it.
