[gedit-list] Help with find/replace function in gedit

[Kirk Hevener <khevener utmem edu>]

Dear users,

  I am hoping someone can help me with what I hope is a simple problem.
I'm trying to insert carriage returns into a text file before multiple
(almost 1000!) occurrences of the same text sequence.  For example:

blahblahblah
$$$$
blahblahblah

becomes:

blahblahblah

$$$
blahblahblah

Is there a simple way of doing this that can save me hours of manual
editing?  Thanks in advance.
