multi-line find and replace?

Perhaps a silly question.

I'm new to vstudio.net and am wondering if it's possible to do a
multi-line find and replace.

I want to replace one line of code with two lines of code and the boxes
that are provided when I do a "find in files" only allow for one line.

Do I need to put a carriage return value in there of some sort?

Seems like an obvious feature.

Thanks.

Make sure the "Use Regular Expressions" is checked. Then you can use \n for
new lines in the textbox.
