How to replace in google spreadsheet any character with carriage return

Solution shamelessly copied from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7528169/find-replace-with-newline-on-google-spreadsheet

IF you are trying to use the Ctrl+F to find and replace well you can't. at least I dont know how.

but if you have a cell say A1 that contains the following : "stack,overflow" then if you type this in A2 it should work: =SUBSTITUTE(A1, ",", char(10))

you can then copy the content of A2 and in A3 right click -> Paste Special... -> Values Only.
