Find/replace new lines or carriage returns

I have timecodes in one column, enclosed in brackets, because that’s how they come back from the transcription service:

[00:05:03] blah blah blah [00:09:12] more talking

I want to insert a newline in front of each left bracket.

I can search on them, but can’t figure out how to insert a newline for each found instance. It puts in literally:

\n[00:05:09] blah blah blah

which is silly and unuseful.

Anybody know how to do this?

Okay, I found out how to do it. It’s using regex syntax for both Find and Replace. Just Find. If you copy a carriage return or new line, and paste it into the Replace box, it will work as expected.
