I have a whole lot of entries listed as:
<image><filename>
and would like to search and replace so the end result is so:
<image>
<filename>
i.e. there is a return/enter after <image>
I highlighted text on two lines and when I tried Search and Replace (Ctrl+H), I get the "square" which represents Return/Enter in the search box but I cannot copy it to the replace box. Anyone know how I can "type" the return character in a text editor?
Thanks.

Use replace and select regular expressions. In the find area, type
(<image>)(<filename>) -- essentially, take your search text and break it into two groups
In the replace area, type
\1\r\n\2 -- \1 is the first group, \r\n is a carriage return and a new line, \2 is the second group.
Click Replace All
If you don't know regular expressions, this won't make any sense, but I tested it in np++...

Thanks very much everyone!
How do you distinct between the image and the filename?
If you know, you simply have to enter both characteristics into the Fiend field of the advanced Find/Replace dialog (CTRL+R).
Past the same contents into the Replace field. Put the cursor between the image description and the filename and press CTRL+M.
When you replace all occurrences, each filename should be separated from its image description by a newline.
If your lines look something like:
"this is an image description",this is the filename.jpg
then enter in the Find field:
",
And in the Replace field:
",
Move the cursor in-between the " and , and press CTRL+M.
