❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What types of separators does the tool handle?
+
The tool efficiently handles items separated by **line breaks** (new lines), **tabs**, and multiple **spaces**. It cleans up all these different separators and replaces them with a single comma and a space (`, `).
2. Does the tool remove blank lines or extra spaces?
+
**Yes**, the tool is designed to normalize the list. It automatically removes any leading/trailing whitespace from each item and filters out completely empty lines to ensure the final output is clean and professional.
3. What happens if my input already has commas?
+
If an item in your input already contains a comma (e.g., "Smith, John"), the tool will treat that entire line/section as one item and simply add a new comma and space to separate it from the next item. It **does not** remove existing commas within an item.
4. Can I convert a comma-separated list back to separate lines?
+
While this tool is primarily a **Comma Separator**, you can manually paste the comma-separated list into the input box, find the commas and replace them with a line break using a text editor, or use a dedicated "Comma to New Line" converter tool.
5. Is there a character limit for the input?
+
There is no hard coded limit, but for optimum performance and speed, it is best used for lists of up to a few thousand items. Processing very massive files (e.g., hundreds of thousands of lines) may take a few moments.
