Need to split record

Hi All,
Need help in writing a shell script for the below requirement:

i/p:
Code:
123456789

o/p:
Code:
123
456
789

Req: one record should be split into multiple based on the length ( after every third character it should be moved into next line)

Thanks in Advance

Are all record the same?
Code:
o/p: 4 (+ space =5)
123 3
456 3
789 3

So divide on 3 gives wrong output

Code:
awk '{gsub(/.../,"&\n")}1'
i/p
: 1
234
567
89

Code:
awk 'gsub(/.../,"&\n",$2) {print "o/p:";print $2}'

This will give you the output required. It's only available in this case.

Or this
Code:
 awk 'BEGIN {print "o/p:"} gsub(/.../,"&\n",$2) {print $2}'

Input is different
Code:
echo "i/p: 123456789" |sed 's/\(...\)/\1\n/g'
i/p
: 1
234
567
89
