I have a list from of words in a textbox, separated using a comma. But want every new word to be put on a new line i.e.

Milk, egsgs,bread --- written as

Milk
Eggs
Bread
instead

This is the code I have ...

//    string[] lines = processesTextBox.Text.Split(new[] { Environment.NewLine },StringSplitOptions.None);

When I run the code - the text is all still on one line

What I have tried:

processesTextBox.Text.Split(',');

First off, unless it is a multiline textbox, then you can't do it at all: a "normal" textbox only ever shows a single line of text, and uses an ellipsis "..." to indicate "more text to the left / right"

You could set it to a multiline textbox, and just use string.Replace:

C#

myTextBox.Text = myTextBox.Text.Replace(",", Environment.NewLine);
