Search character and Insert line break

Solved
Alain0384 -  
Hello,

I have a text file that contains a (very large) line.
I need this file to be composed of several lines starting with 05300 or 04300.
The 05300 and 04300 are data present in the line of the file, and right now I type "Enter" before each 05300 and 04300.
I would like to find a solution to automatically insert line breaks because I have several files to process every day.
Can you help me? I was thinking of a batch file, but I can't find the solution.

Thank you in advance.

Configuration: Mac OS X / Firefox 8.0.1

    Hello,

    Use the Find/Replace functions of your text editor.
    Personally, I use Notepad++ and it's a piece of cake.

    Find 05300
    Replace \n05300

    ;-)

      Thank you Yoda,
      it's already taking me a bit less time (I created a macro) but is there a way to put this in a batch?
      I would like the file to be "converted" with one click.
      Thank you.

        Hello,

        I barely know (or almost) batch language.
        But ask yourself: Is it worth making a program for this?
        There are already quite a few (free) tools available to do this type of manipulation easily and quickly.
        A file like yours, with Notepad++ version 5.9.8, can be processed in just a few clicks (without creating a macro).

        See you later.

          More information on the structure of your files is needed if you require programmatic management.
