Recently, I needed to combine lots of single row inserts SQL statements into multi-row insert statements, which involved removing the semi-colon at the end of each single insert, a commit, and the following insert statement up to the actual values of the insert, which spanned 5 text lines in the script I was writing. With a multiline find-replace tool this would be easy. With the find-replace tool only being able to operate on one line at a time this is much harder.
