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

What have you tried so far?
