I want to convert all numbers to a single line per number

Ebenezer Dare

Hello mates,

Please I need help.
I want to convert all numbers in my notepad++ on a single row to a single line per number. That is each number should be on a single line.
For example;

34566, 46664, 67575, 78787,

to

34566
46664
67575
78787

I’ll be waiting for your swift response.
Thanks

Try this:

Invoke Replace dialog (default key: ctrl+h)
Find what zone: , ?
Replace with zone: \r\n
Wrap around checkbox: ticked or unticked, as you like
Search mode selection: Regular expression
Action: Press Replace All button

Here’s how it works:

THE FIND EXPRESSION:

, ?

[Match the character “,” literally][1 ] ,
[Match the character “ ” literally][1 ] ?
- [Between zero and one times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy)][2 ] ?

THE REPLACE EXPRESSION:

\r\n

[Insert a carriage return][3 ] \r
[Insert a line feed][3 ] \n
