Is there an edit that can do this?

Part of me offers this up just to see how quickly Ken can come up with
something. (I know that I just don't do recursive thinking as easily.)
I am setting up a program to process a CSV file. One of the data lines
is an address field that has the entire address in one field with the
data elements each separated by a string of 8 spaces. I was wondering
if it is easy to create an edit that replaces each set of 8 spaces with
some other character for which it would be easier to search. One little
difficulty is that there can be a string of 16 spaces when no 2nd
address line exists, which is most of the time.
The data in the string would look like this:
Joe Shmoe 1136 Feather Grass Ln Raleigh,
NC-27613
Thanks in advance
