Hello,

Code:
echo $a | awk 'gsub(/overflow condition\. /,"overflow condition\.\n")1'

Output will be as follows.

Code:

There must be an easier way to do this?
I can strip off the colon before I pass it to the variable
All I need to do is to print the variable every time the host appears
For simplicity lets just make the same host the same name

printf "$i " | sed or Awk command here to insert a new line everytime I encounter the host name .

So the input variable is ( same hostname host01)

i=host01 text goes here 1 host01 text goes here 2
printf "$i " | sed or awk here to find the hostname and then insert a line after the host name and print the content on new line
output

Code:
host01  textgoes here 1
host01 textgoes here 2

Try
Code:
HOST=pwrm
sed -r "s/($HOST[^[:space:]]*):/\n\1/g" <<<"$I"
