How do you split a sentence after every nth word
Hi,
I think my problem is a "simple" one to resolve. What i am looking for is a way in sed/awk to split a long line/paragraph into say 5 words per line.
For example:
Sentence/paragraph contains: 102 103 104 105 106 107 109 110 ....
I would like the output to be (if splitting every 5 words):
102 103 104 105(newline)
106 107 109 110 (newline)
...etc....
Is this possible?
