Subject: Tip: How to copy&paste a table from Firefox to Org

Hi all,
posting in case this is useful to someone else:
I just figured out how to copy & paste tabular data from Firefox to an
Org buffer (in my case: a train schedule from www.bahn.de).
- Select data in Firefox
- Paste into Org, select it as the region
- M-x replace-regexp <RET> C-i \ | ^ <RET> | <RET>
C-i inserts a tab character (you can also use C-q <TAB> instead).
We replace each beginning of a line and each tab character with "|".
- Place the cursor on the table and press C-c C-c to align it
