Let me see if I understand what you're trying to do:
- Read the first line of a file,
- if any word is a single character, change it to the first character of the previous word,
- change all occurrence of one or more space characters to a single <newline> character, and
- ignore the rest of the file.
Is this correct?
What have you tried so far?
