I have eg:

text1<tab>text2<tab>text3
text4<tab>text5<tab>text6

I want to transform into:

text1
text2
text3
text4
text5
text6


Using c-m-% I tried this:

c-m=% Used C-Q for quorted then entered tab key on keyboard

For replacement I used C-Q (quoted) then entered <enter> key

But then I end up with:

text1^Mtext2^Mtext3
text4^Mtext5^Mtext6

How should I have done it?

Platform is Windows by the way.
