Emeditor crashing after a certain regex

I have a 10gb file which I am trying to edit. I've edited a few things in it and it works fine until I need to do find and replace ) with new line \n

When I try to replace it for a few lines it works but when I try to replace the whole file the progress bar fills to 100% but instead of finishing it just stops there and crashes.

I tried splitting the file to 1gb pieces and then edit but same problem persists.

For very large files, you should use escape sequences rather than regular expressions. Using escape sequences should process replaces much faster than regular expressions.
