Help! My (limited) regex-fu is failing me.

I managed to extract summaries from within books using the MCS plugin into a custom column (#comments, type: long text).

I'm trying to transfer #comments to comments via bulk search and replace while at the same time replacing vertical whitespace with <br />. It doesn't seem to accept \v, though?

I've got around 4000 books (fanfics) to edit else I'd just fix it manually.

Thanks!
