How to Replace Commas with New Lines in Formatter by Zapier Text Replace?

Hi Zapier Community,

 

I have a comma-separated string of links from Browse AI, like this:

https://link1.com,https://link2.com,https://link3.com

I want to use Formatter by Zapier → Text → Replace to replace commas with actual new lines, so the output looks like:

https://link1.com

https://link2.com

https://link3.com

I’ve tried putting a comma in the “Find” field and pressing Enter or typing \n in the “Replace” field, but it doesn’t work. The output remains a single line.

Could anyone please help me how to correctly replace commas with new lines in Formatter by Zapier?

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@nm1989, welcome to the Community! 🎉

Ah, it’s not working as \n isn’t supported:

In the Replace field you’ll want to use [:newline:] instead of \n.

Can you give that a try and let me know if that does the trick?

Hi ​@nm1989 

For us to have more info, post these screenshots:

  • how the DATA OUT is returned from the origin step
  • how the Formatter step is configured in EDIT mode

​@nm1989 

For us to have full context, we would need to see screenshots with how all of your Zap steps are configured in the CONFIGURE tab while in EDIT mode.

Also, post screenshots showing the DATA OUT from Zap step 1.

You need to post these screenshots:

  • how your Zap step 1 is returning data out from the TEST tab
  • how your Zap step 3 is configured in the CONFIGURE tab
