String manipulation

Hi ,

I am getting a string like

Code:
aaa,bbb,sdsdad,sdfsdf,sdfsdfdsf,rtyrtyr,45654654,ddfdfdfgdfg,dfgdfgdg..........

.

Now what I need is to format it.
So after each nth comma I need one newline. So the above will look like

when n=3

Code:
aaa,bbb,sdsdad,
sdfsdf,sdfsdfdsf,rtyrtyr,
45654654,ddfdfdfgdfg,dfgdfgdg...........

Please help.
