words - Replace new lines with a comma delimiter with Notepad++? -

i have notepad++ question.

how can take below words in notepad++ (which on different lines)

apples apricots pear avocados bananas 

and turn them paragraph comma @ end of each one? this:

apples, apricots, pear, avocados, bananas 

open find , replace dialog (press ctrl+h).

then select regular expression in 'search mode' section @ bottom.

in find what field enter this: [\r\n]+

in replace with: , 

there space after comma.

this replace lines like

apples  apricots pear  avocados bananas 

where there empty lines.

if lines have trailing blank spaces should remove first. simplest way achieve is

edit -> blank operations -> trim trailing space 

or

textfx -> textfx edit -> trim trailing spaces 

be sure set search mode "regular expression".
