Yeah that did the job ... I didnt know about the fold command .. Cheers 
---------- Post updated at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous update was at 09:00 AM ----------
What if I had to write the edited output as a separate file using the first line as file name? I know I can do this using > operator and output_filename, but I want to automatise this for the whole big file. My original file has several such lines so I would like to have multiple files as output.
Cheers

fold
FOLD(1) BSD General Commands Manual FOLD(1) NAME
fold -- fold long lines for finite width output device SYNOPSIS
fold [-bs] [-w width] [file ...] DESCRIPTION
fold is a filter which folds the contents of the specified files, or the standard input if no files are specified, breaking the lines to have a maximum of 80 characters. The options are as follows: -b Count width in bytes rather than column positions. -s Fold line after the last blank character within the first width column positions (or bytes). -w width Specifies width to use as a line width, instead of the default 80 characters. ENVIRONMENT
LC_CTYPE EXIT STATUS
The fold utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
expand(1), fmt(1) STANDARDS
The fold utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1''). BUGS
If underlining is present it may be messed up by folding. Width should be a multiple of 8 if tabs are present, or the tabs should be expanded using expand(1) before using fold. BSD
