[Notepadplusplusisthebest]

Hi I know how to from column

1;
2;

5;
6;

Get row

1;2;3;4;5;6

But how to get from row 1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9
to column with an exact number of characters. I need this for words, but made an example with numbers.
1;2;3
4;5;6
7;8;9

Can someone help me with this?

Hello, @notepadplusplusisthebest,

Very easily, indeed !

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

SEARCH .{6}

REPLACE $0\r\n

OPTIONS Regular expression ticked and . matches newline unticked

ACTION : Click on the Replace All button or several ones on the Replace button

Remark : If you’re using Unix files, the REPLACE regex should be $0\n

---

An other example . Suppose the line, below :

----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7----+----8----+----9

then the regex S/R :

SEARCH .{5}

REPLACE $0\r\n

Would change that line into :

----+
----1
----+
----2
----+
----3
----+
----4
----+
----5
----+
----6
----+
----7
----+
----8
----+
----9

Best Regards
