It should be fairly straightforward. Get the content of the text field: $("PartNum").val(); Use the split() function to split each line by "\n" (return). Then for each of those lines, split it again by " " (space). (Store all of these in an array(s).) Then you can use the join() function to add "," (comma) to a list in your array.
