Paste into word with narrow margins. But there will still be a lot of editing.

Just past into a text editor that allows you to replace space with line return

hwo do ido that?

Paste into Word (don't think it works with another text editor)

Open find/replace, and replace " " (space) with "^l" which is a special code to force a line break

pay me 500 dollaridoos

Pretty much every text editor has search and replace now.

the special character "^l" only is treated as a line break in Word

In any other editor it literally just put's ^l in where there spaces are.

That worked for me. You can just put a return in the 2nd box and it recognizes it as a character, so you can replace spaces with a return there.

not on my pc right now but try this.

open word pad
type in "1 2 3" without the quotes
search and replace, search for space and in replace hold down alt, type 13 from the numpad, then release alt.

that should put carriage return in the replace.


give that a shot.

I could give you some ViM commands.

:%s/[^a-zA-Z]/ /g
:%s/  */\r/g

If you were on Linux you could add:

:!sort -u

But ViM is likely to frustrate you. It's a modal text editor.

Try Open Office Suite? I'm guessing they have a close variant of Word.

Run this from a unix terminal:

perl -p -i.bak -e "s/ /\n/g" filename

You're question is an example of why lots of people who work with computers prefer unix for productivity.

"s/a/b/g" is a global regular expression which replaces all instances of "a" with "b", in this case " "(space) with "\n"(newline). Perl can interpret and perform this in one line if you use a few flags, -p and -e with -i.bak creating a backup of the original file in case you write a bad regex.

If you're stuck with windows, use a text editor with "find and replace". Although I'm not sure which programs can add newlines.

Here is a quick video on how to do it using Notepad++, which is free. I think most modern text editors could probably do this.

Would probably not be too hard to write a small C++ program that can do it.

OP seems totally capable of that

The perl expression works in windows with ActivePerl just fine though it needs to be formatted slightly different.

Install ActivePerl, open the folder with the file in a command window and use:
"<path to Perl>\Perl -p -i.bak -e "s/ / \n /g" <filename>

For some reason the windows command line doesn't like the /\n/

I'm sure there is a simple way to do it with a .bat file.
I remember doing massive file renaming and txt file routines with simple 1-2 line BAT files.
