Line too long error Replace string with new line line character
I get a file which has all its content in a single row.
The file contains xml data containing 3000 records, but all in a single row, making it difficult for Unix to Process the file.
I decided to insert a new line character at all occurrences of a particular string in this file (say replacing "<record>" with "\n<record>", so that the file has multiple rows without impacting the xml data in it.
I have tried sed, awk and perl commands but probably these commands aren't processing the file with too long line in it.
I cannot 'fold' the file as it breaks the file at a fixed width, disrupting the xml tags and xml data.
How can I edit this file.

xml2po
XML2PO(1) XML2PO(1)
NAME
xml2po - program to create a PO-template file from a DocBook XML file and merge it back into a (translated) XML file
SYNOPSIS
xml2po [OPTIONS] [XMLFILE]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xml2po command.
xml2po is a simple Python program which extracts translatable content from free-form XML documents and outputs gettext compatible POT
files. Translated PO files can be turned into XML output again.
It can work it's magic with most "simple" tags, and for complicated tags one has to provide a list of all tags which are "final" (that will
be put into one "message" in PO file), "ignored" (skipped over) and "space preserving".
OPTIONS
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below.
-a, --automatic-tags
Automatically decides if tags are to be considered "final" or not.
-k, --keep-entities
Don't expand entities (default). See also the -e option.
-e, --expand-all-entities
Expand all entities (including SYSTEM ones).
-m, --mode=TYPE
Treat tags as type TYPE (default: docbook).
-o, --output=FILE
Print resulting text (XML while merging translations with "-p" or "-t" options, POT template file while extracting strings, and
translated PO file with "-r" option) to the given FILE.
-p, --po-file=FILE
Specify a PO FILE containing translation and output XML document with translations merged in. Using this option will overwrite the
temporary file .xml2po.mo.
-r, --reuse=FILE
Specify a translated XML document in FILE with the same structure to generate translated PO file for XML document given on command
line.
-t, --translation=FILE
Specify a MO file containing translation and output XML document with translations merged in.
-u, --update-translation=LANG.po
Updates a PO file using msgmerge.
-l, --language=LANG
Explicitely set language of the translation.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-v, --version
Show version of program.
EXAMPLES
Creating POT template files
To create a POT template book.pot from an input file book.xml, which consists of chapter1.xml and chapter2.xml (external entities), run:
/usr/bin/xml2po -o book.pot book.xml chapter1.xml chapter2.xml
To expand entities use the -e option:
/usr/bin/xml2po -e -o book.pot book.xml
Creating translated XML files (merging back PO files)
After translating book.pot into LANG.po, merge the translations back by using -p option for each XML file:
/usr/bin/xml2po -p LANG.po -o book.LANG.xml book.xml
/usr/bin/xml2po -p LANG.po -o chapter1.LANG.xml chapter1.xml
/usr/bin/xml2po -p LANG.po -o chapter2.LANG.xml chapter2.xml
If you used the -e option to expand entities, you should use it again to merge back the translation into an XML file:
/usr/bin/xml2po -e -p LANG.po -o book.LANG.xml book.xml
Updating PO files
When base XML file changes, the real advantages of PO files come to surface. There are 2 ways to merge the translation. The first is to
produce a new POT template file (additionally use the -e if you decided earlier to expand entities). Afterwards run msgmerge to merge the
translation with the new POT file:
/usr/bin/msgmerge -o tmp.po LANG.po book.pot
Now rename tmp.po to LANG.po and update your translation. Alternatively, xml2po provides the -u option, which does exactly these two steps
for you. The advantage is, that it also runs msgfmt to give you a statistical output of translation status (count of translated,
untranslated and fuzzy messages). Additionally use the -e if you decided earlier to expand entities:
/usr/bin/xml2po -u LANG.po book.xml
