Try this way. It got worked for me

  1. Open Notepad++ then copy your content
  2. Press ctrl + h
  3. Find what is should be ,(comma) or any character that you want to replace
  4. Replace with should be \n
  5. Select Search Mode -> Extended (\n, \r, \t, \0)
  6. Then Click on Replace All

If the text contains \r\n that need to be converted into new lines use the 'Extended' or 'Regular expression' modes and escape the backslash character in 'Find what':

Find what: \\r\\n

Replace with: \r\n
