So who is a notepad wizard?

[treemonkey]

I've got a .txt file with integers in it 1,2,3,4

I want to replace each comma with "Enter" so that each number is on it's own line like this:

1
2
3
4

However, when I click Edit -> Replace I can't enter "Enter" in the "Replace" field. Anyone else faced this?

Have you tried Alt Characters to find a Pilcrow sign or the actual carriage return value with Alt?

^p will usually do it.

'/n'

 

[KLin]

well, microsoft word will replace them with a carriage return, but wordpad/notepad won't.

Use a better program 😉

CuteHTML 1.2 should do it for you 😉

I know it can be done in excel or word, I was just looking for a way to use a prog that everyone with windows has.

I tried the suggestions and they didn't work. /n ^p Were they sarcastic suggestions or am I doing something wrong?

Using vi.

Use Ctrl-V for ^M.
