Hello
I modified the command from

Code:
sed 's/\([[:space:]]\)\(:61:\)/\1\n\2/g'  file1 > file2

to (remove space)
Code:
sed 's/\([[:space:]]\)\(:61:\)/\n\2/g'  file1 > file2

so the original issue I was facing got resolved but this change is giving me another issue

Source data :
Code:
 
:20:9400115251184711  :61:1509090908DR991,43NCOL09:04:0032 :86:/OCMT/EUR991,43/PT/FT/BN/ORANGE ESPAGNE S.A.U
