Solution Found

Jim: Thanks for the reply, I'll try that as well.

The solution I found was to open vim and:

Replaced newline characters with tabs
:%s/\n/^I/g

Then replaced pairs of tabs with a newline (the space between sets generated a pair)
:%s/^I^I/\r/g

Thanks again. This site is an awesome resource.
