| 689941 | 2008-07-18 01:48:00 | Ok I have a number of lists I am editing (to include in a spreadsheet) and they are in this form mlo46, hgdt75, hdsf6, fshdf765, 1245,... and i want to convert them into this form mlo46 hgdt75 hdsf6 fshdf765 1245 ... Now back on my old windows 2k machine I used to be able to do this using a search and replace in a text editor, however since it died i haven't had occasion to do this I now need to and I cannot for the life of me remember how to do it My current text editor is notepad++ I also have pspad installed (although I have virtually never used it) any help would be greatly appreciated |

| 689943 | 2008-07-18 02:17:00 | yeah copy it all into ms word and use the replace tool to search for ", " and replace it with "^|" | justinsg (11165) | ||
| 689944 | 2008-07-18 03:03:00 | In Notepad++, using the "Replace" command, tick "Regular Expression", and use '\n' without the apostrophes for the Replace With. | somebody (208) | ||
| 689945 | 2008-07-18 03:17:00 | Thanks all Somebody - that works fine, I was trying the "Ctrl r" then "Ctrl M" but couldn't figure how to automate, your way is much simpler and dare I say embarrassingly obvious, i feel really daft not figuring that out. |
