Notepad++ Experts

Post by Anime Sword Fighter » Sun Jan 04, 2015 12:56 am

Not really for Arelith specifically.

But do any of you Notepad++ masters know how to do the following.

I want to Find the White Space in a block of text, and Replace All with a line break.

The inputs for Microsoft Word 2010 to do this are
Control+H (Open Find and Replace) > Find: ^w > Replace: ^l > Replace All

This turns :
Daedalus interea Creten longumque perosus

into:
Daedalus
interea
Creten
longumque
perosus


What I do this for is for Latin homework and making grammar sheets out of the words in a passage. I use Notepad++ instead of Word just because it's a lot quicker, and if there's someway to do it there instead of transposing it from Word that'd be wonderful.

Search -> Replace

Search Mode: Extended (lower left)

Find: [Space]
Replace with: \n

Replace All

Be aware that if there are two spaces, it will produce two line breaks.
