Shell method:
awk '{gsub("XXX","\r");print}' yourfile > newfile
I searched UNIX.COM for "awk global replace" and found help in the sixth returned link.
You should try that with "vi global replace" if you are determined to do it in vi.
Use the whacky search button in the upper right corner of the page.

Hello, there. I have a file that's a horrible, horrible mess. (Basically, it's an export from a firewall config.) The people who generated the file didn't think that putting a newline in the middle of a hostname would ever be a problem. It is.
Here's an example of the stuff in the file:

LEARN ABOUT PHP
str_ireplace
STR_IREPLACE(3) 1 STR_IREPLACE(3)
str_ireplace - Case-insensitive version ofstr_replace(3).
SYNOPSIS
mixed str_ireplace (mixed $search, mixed $replace, mixed $subject, [int &$count])
DESCRIPTION
This function returns a string or an array with all occurrences of $search in $subject (ignoring case) replaced with the given $replace
value. If you don't need fancy replacing rules, you should generally use this function instead of preg_replace(3) with the i modifier.
PARAMETERS
If $search and $replace are arrays, then str_ireplace(3) takes a value from each array and uses them to search and replace on $subject. If
$replace has fewer values than $search, then an empty string is used for the rest of replacement values. If $search is an array and
$replace is a string, then this replacement string is used for every value of $search. The converse would not make sense, though.
If $search or $replace are arrays, their elements are processed first to last.
o $search
- The value being searched for, otherwise known as the needle. An array may be used to designate multiple needles.
o $replace
- The replacement value that replaces found $search values. An array may be used to designate multiple replacements.
o $subject
- The string or array being searched and replaced on, otherwise known as the haystack. If $subject is an array, then the search
and replace is performed with every entry of $subject, and the return value is an array as well.
o $count
- If passed, this will be set to the number of replacements performed.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a string or an array of replacements.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
str_ireplace(3) example
<?php
$bodytag = str_ireplace("%body%", "black", "<body text=%BODY%>");
?>
NOTES
Note
This function is binary-safe.
Caution
Replacement order gotcha
Because str_ireplace(3) replaces left to right, it might replace a previously inserted value when doing multiple replacements.
Example #2 in the str_replace(3) documentation demonstrates how this may affect you in practice.
