About the Comma to New Line Tool
Working with data exports from CSVs, Excel, or database queries often results in long strings of text separated by commas. When you need to analyze this data, check keywords, or feed it into another system, you often need a clean vertical list. This tool automates that formatting in milliseconds.
Features Explained

apple, banana, cherryand converts it into a list where each item is on its own line. It automatically cleans up spaces after commas. - New Line to Comma: The reverse operation. Takes a vertical list and joins it into a single paragraph separated by commas (e.g., for SQL
IN (...)clauses). - Smart Counters: Instantly see how many items, lines, and commas are in your text.
