Do the following:
a) Put the cursor at the beginning of the string
b) Open the "find-replace dialog" (In the edit menu)
c) Put the following in the "search" field [ don't forget the dot just after
the first "(" ]:

d) Put the following in the "replace" field:
$1\n
e) Then, click in the "more options" button
f) Select the "Regular expressions" check box.

Hope it helps.
