The most frequently used use-case of Notepad++ text editor is to quickly do some Find-And-Repalce on a text so that it can be used by a developer the way they want it and save a lot of time. One such use case is to replace a delimiter (comma, semicolon, space, tab, pipe, tilde) with a new line.
Steps to replace delimiter with new line
- One the file or be on the tab you want to replace the delimiter,
- Press Control + H to open relace window.
- Select Seach Mode: Extension (\n, \r, \t, \0, \x...)
- Now in Find What: Add your delimiter (can be a ; , : ~ or a single space or tab)
- In Find Replace: Add \n
- Click on Replace All.
- You would see that wherever there was your delimiter, has been replaced by a new line.
