Thanks vbe, scottaazz & Scrutinizer. All your solution worked.
Can you guys please tell me what I need to do in order to add new line after only last line in the file?

Here are the command which worked:-
Code:
fold -w95 fileName

OR
Code:
dd if=FileName.dat of=NewFile.dat cbs=95 conv=unblock

Thanks,
Lance
