Well, I had a bunch of those, too.

I just did it with a combination of Word (to get each command on one  
line), appended that into a temp table, and used getwordnum() on the  
" to parse the values. Turns out I had ~350 REPLACE commands, and  
about 50 new ones to add from the latest batch of data.

Thanks for stimulating my brain to get it done....
