The simplest way to perform a search and replace in Vim editor is using the slash and dot method. We can use the slash to search for a word, and then use the dot to replace it. This will highlight the first occurrence of the word “article”, and we can press the Enter key to jump to it.
Press l to move the cursor right and j to move the cursor down to get the cursor to the S. Then press i to "insert" and hit enter to create a new line. Then hit esc to stop inserting and :wq to save and quit. There are lots of basic vi command lists on the internet that might help.

See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Search_and_replace
When searching: \n is newline, \r is CR (carriage return = Ctrl-M = ^M)
When replacing: \r is newline, \n is a null byte (0x00).

You need to use \r as the replacement instead: :%s/;/\r/gc
