      2. Name2, Place2, Animal2, Thing2
        3)…

        I assume that your real data is not formatted as nicely as you have shown, right?
        If it is, then use the “Edit->Select Start/End” function.
        If not, then what do you want to do with the data once it is selected?
        Can the CSV plugin or the Analyze plugin help?

          Assuming it’s a regular CSV file I’d:

          1. select the lines to be copied from
          2. use the “\TextFX\TextFX Edit\E:Line up multiple lines by (,)” option
          3. carefully check to make sure TextFX didn’t get confused by commas inside the quoted fields; it may not get confused, but if it did get confused STOP NOW and undo (Ctrl-Z) the alignment option (or throw away this edit session)
          4. use Alt-‘left click’ and drag to mark the source block
          5. Ctrl-C to copy the block into the clipboard
          6. paste the block in the clipboard to wherever you want it
          7. optionally undo (Ctrl-Z) the alignment performed on the original tab
