ect.

thank you for reading this and I hope you can help me out

Find and replace! Not sure if the ms word find and replace tool can do this (find returns) but others can.

Find all "
"
and replace with ",
"

You could also try copy/pasting them into excel (or maybe you can do this in word) and exporting the list as a comma delimited CSV file... then pase back into word.

If you are doing this so you can import into a database you should be able to tell it to use returns (instead of commas) to seperate items.

That did not work as you said, however,
I DID FIND A SOLUTION,

using find/replace I told word to find" .com " and replace with " .com, "

did the same with .net and .org
thanks for the suggestion

Hi Steve

Lucky they all ended with .com, you could have used ^p which is the code for a paragraph mark, if I remember rightly. I usually use Excel for that kind of stuff, trim to remove spaces then concatenate function.
