Try this :

Code:
sed '/\([0-9][0-9]* [0-9]\{2\}-[0-9]\{2\}-[0-9][0-
9]* [0-9][0-9]* [0-9][0-9]* \)/{i Employee Details
i AccId Date Salary Due
s//\1\n/g}' filename | awk 'NR==1{print}NR > 1{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)printf("%-20s",$i);printf "\n"}'


cheers,

you may use perl

Code:
my $str="11111 12-12-2002 1000 23 22222 11-11-2011 2000 24 13131 09-02-2002 ";
$str=~s/(?<=[0-9]{5} [0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4} [0-9]{4} [0-9]{2}) /\n/g;
print $str;

Assuming you want 4 fields on 1 line:

Code:
awk 'BEGIN{RS=" "}{sub("\n","")}ORS=NR%4?RS:"\n"' file
