The following subroutine replaces a single line of code with another line across the module. How can this be modified to either replace a single line with a multi-line code ir vuce versa?

VBA Code:
Sub ReplaceCodeModuleText(strModule As String, strFindWhat As String, strReplaceWith As String)

    Dim VBProj As VBProject
    Dim VBComp As VBComponent
    Dim CodeMod As CodeModule

    Dim SL As Long    ' Start line
    Dim EL As Long    ' End line
    Dim SC As Long    ' Start column
    Dim EC As Long    ' End column
    
    Dim strCodeLine As String
    Dim vDummy As Variant

    Dim Found As Boolean

    Set VBProj = Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject
    Set VBComp = VBProj.VBComponents(strModule)
    Set CodeMod = VBComp.CodeModule

    With CodeMod
        SL = 1: EL = .CountOfLines
        SC = 1: EC = 255

        Found = .Find(Target:=strFindWhat, StartLine:=SL, StartColumn:=SC, _
                      EndLine:=EL, EndColumn:=EC, _
                      wholeword:=True, MatchCase:=False, PatternSearch:=False)

        If Found Then
            strCodeLine = CodeMod.Lines(SL, 1)
            strCodeLine = Replace(strCodeLine, strFindWhat, strReplaceWith, Compare:=vbTextCompare)    ' Not case sensitive = vbTextCompare
            .ReplaceLine SL, strCodeLine

            Debug.Print "Successfully Replaced: " & strFindWhat & " in VBA Module: " & strModule & " with : " & strReplaceWith
        Else
            Debug.Print "Did not find: " & strFindWhat;

        End If
    End With
End Sub

Sub Demo()
    Call ReplaceCodeModuleText("Module1", "Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual", "Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Application.EnableEvents = False")
End Sub

Say for example, replace all occurrences of:
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual (single line)
with
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual (two lines of code)
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
You could use DeleteLines and InsertLines instead.

@RoryA ; Thanks ... will InsertLines need a position to be specified? I want to replace independent of position.

Yes, just like ReplaceLine, it needs a position - how else would it know where to put the lines?
