Noob Question - Converting \n into an actual list

[poosemon]

Hi,

Have been interrogating google on this one and can't seem to quite find the answer to help and hopefully this is a nice easy for someone in the know to help get my head around how to do it quickly!

I have string of data with the line breaks within the text which is been output as follows;

\nUnrecognised item: Extra Vegan Cheese, Plant + Chips\nUnrecognised item: No Vegan Chipotle Mayo, Plant + Chips\nUnrecognised item: No Chipotle Mayo, Fritter + Chips

However, i want to quickly and easily format it as;

Unrecognised item: Extra Vegan Cheese, Plant + Chips
Unrecognised item: No Vegan Chipotle Mayo, Plant + Chips
Unrecognised item: No Chipotle Mayo, Fritter + Chips

I am trying to do this is copying it into Notepad ++ and pretty sure it can be done using find and replace but i'm obviously not quite getting it right. If i can do this in another tool I am happy to use something else!

Thank you for any help

Notepad++ should be able to do it. Make sure you select the "extended" radio button in the search/replace dialog, then search for \\n and replace with \n

You need the double \\ in the search.
