      I have text following this format:

      APPLES:01;PEARS:02;BANANAS:03;TOMATOES:11;

      Using ‘replace all’ in ctrl+f , can I format the text into this?

      APPLES:01;
      PEARS:02;
      BANANAS:03;
      TOMATOES:11;

      I’ve tried ;\t but nothing happens other than it adding \t after every ;.

          I had to use Extended instead of Regular expression but other than that it worked.

          Thanks, this saved me a lot of time!

            There is no reason why this would not also work in Regular expression mode.
