Hello,

No,that's not what I need...
When this function detect ";" or ":" ,it must append character "\n" or
"\n\t" ahead ":" or ";" another e.g

1) text="Hello world;Hello:Hello2"

2) When function detect ";" or ":" it must append character "\n" or "\n
\t" ahead ":" or ";", so that must look like this:

NEW TEXT :  "Hello world;\nHello:\n\t\t\n\n\n\n\n\nHello2"
