Comma Separated into Horizontal - GoFuckYourself.com

HighRoller · 08-20-2003, 11:50 PM

If I have a vertical list of 20 keywords in word
and each has a , after it, how do I make it into a horizontal list quickly example

Right now it is
keyword1,
keyword2,
keyword3,
keyword4,

but I want it to be
keyword1,keyword2,keyword3,keyword4

I will have larger lists in the future so I am looking to save time

Find/Replace what?

If you use textpad or any other editor with regular expression find/replace, replace "\n" with "" (make sure regular expression search is checked on textpad)

You want to replace the return or paragraph symbol with a space symbol.

If you don't know what that means, you have the wrong "view".

Make any sense?

I don't feel like opening word and looking it all up.

do you mean notepad or wordpad?

Also I don't see the part y ou are talking about
but I iwill know how to do the find/replace thing
does it need the quotes?

Textpad

Don't put the quotes, just put \n in the search textbox and leave the replace textbox empty.

To get the paragraph symbol to show up in word, click the button with the paragraph symbol on it in the toolbar. Might have to click the little down arrow thingy at the end of the bar to show more buttons, but it's there.

edit: for word:

- control+f
- goto replace tab
- put "^p" without quotes into "find what:"
- leave "replace with" blank
- click replace
