Breaking comma separated text into new lines on notepad
A simple but useful task!
To break a comma-separated text into new lines on Notepad, you can follow these steps:
- Open Notepad and paste the comma-separated text into a new document.
- Go to the "Edit" menu and select "Replace" (or press Ctrl + H).
- In the "Find what" field, enter a comma (

) and leave the "Replace with" field blank. - Click the "Replace All" button.
This will replace each comma with a newline character (\n
), effectively breaking the text into separate lines.
Alternatively, you can also use the "Find and Replace" dialog box to achieve the same result:
- Open Notepad and paste the comma-separated text into a new document.
- Go to the "Edit" menu and select "Find and Replace" (or press Ctrl + H).
- In the "Find what" field, enter a comma (
,
) and leave the "Replace with" field blank. - Check the box next to "Regular expressions" (if it's not already checked).
- Click the "Replace All" button.
Either method should give you the desired result: a new line for each item in the comma-separated list.
