RE: [PHP] regex

I have a small phone directory bust the name listings are combined for example Schwartz Bob & Amelia 555-1212 Oxford Scirkin Bill 555-1213 Brooks I need to add a tab or a comma after the lastname so I can have as a separate field when I dump it into MySQL and there is about 3500 records and I'd hate to have to do it by hand any ideas?
