[TxMt] Find/Replace Speed (inserting of many \n)

[Alex Mason]

Could you not also search for a tab character (copy and paste it in  
there), and the replace with a new line char (again, C&P). wouldn't  
need to do the more complex regexy stuff, and would hopefully be faster.

P,S: List virgin! yay for it being to help rather than consume.

Cheers, Al.
