Wow, thanks Tim! It works fine, except by the case when the last rule
doesn't have a semicolon in the end.
So I tried to add (?=) perl alike feature in your pattern to make it
work and I made it. So, the final pattern I came up with is this one:
:s/\([{;]\|}\&\)\s*/\1\r /g
Just added the \|}\& after your square brackets. =]
Thanks a ton!
