Given a line like this: font.c, down.c, arc.c how do I replace the ", " with a newline so each file name is on a different line? It works if I define a keyboard macro, but I can't figure out how to do it with either string-replace or regexp-replace. greg Strockbine

In your example you can use replace-string to search for ", " and replace it with "^Q^J". ________________________________________ Bill Frolik Hewlett-Packard Co. hp-pcd!bill Corvallis, Oregon

\M-x replace-string ,<SPACE> RET \C-q\C-j RET This should do the trick. mleisher@nmsu.edu Mark Leisher Computing Research Lab New Mexico State University
