Something I do on a honestly regular basis is Find and Replace with Carriage Return. This small gem of information is so simple but so useful I thought I'd share it with you. When you have a huge list extracted or exported from another application, you will frequently find that you have commas or spaces separating the items in the list. This is a bit annoying when you need to place the items into a vertical list i.e. a carriage return after each entry.
If your text editor supports regular expressions, it's so simple. Perform a search/replace with your current separating character and replace it with \n . The standard programming representation for Carriage Return is backslash and 'n', this is used by the regular expression standard.
