Thanks Rich and Pat, but this actually does not solve my problem.
My field where answers are stored is like this
Answer 1,answer 2,answer newanswer,answer;
answer 2,answer3,answer4,new answer;
and my output would be like this
Answer 1
Answer 2
Answer Newanswer
answer
The problem is to get the space between 2 words which i am not able to get
it.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
