Find Replace in Script Editor with cr

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

No. I mean using the find/replace tool panel of the script editor to insert
line feed characters to create a new line.

For instance, suppose I have multiple commands on one line separated by ;
and I want to search for semicolon and replace with semicolon followed by
return character to drop the remaining script onto a new line. That kind of
thing. It’s just easier than taking the whole script and pasting into
another text editor to do the same operation. With 17,000 scripts to go
through, it’s a bit tedious doing it by copy paste fix copy paste all the
time.
