Try this way  It got worked for me   Open Notepad   then copy your content Press ctrl   h Find what is should be   comma  or any character that you want to replace Replace with should be  n Select Search Mode -  Extended   n   r   t   0  Then Click on Replace All

User · Answer

If the text contains  r n that need to be converted into new lines use the  Extended  or  Regular expression  modes and escape the backslash character in  Find what    Find what    r  n  Replace with   r n

If you are looking to get a comma separated string into a column with CR LF you wont be able to do that in Notepad    assuming you didn t want to write code  you could manipulate it in Microsoft Excel   If you copy your string to location B1   A2  LEFT B1 FIND     B1 -1  B2  MID B1 FIND     B1  1 10000    Select A2 and B2  copy the code to successive cells  by dragging    A3  LEFT B2 FIND     B2 -1  B3  MID B2 FIND     B2  1 10000    When you get  VALUE  in the last cell of column A replace it with the previous rows B value   In the end your A column will contain the desired text  Copy and past it anywhere you wish

I have no idea how it can work automatically  but you can copy       together with new line and then use replace function
