If you use Mac Office to convert a spread-sheet to text, you will see one long line with any Unix utility. The reason is that Office inserts the windows carriage return (^M) with no line feed.
To fix this, bring up the text file inside vi editor type:
:s/^V^M/^V^M/g
this will appear on the editor like
:s/^M/^M/g
as ^V is really an escape for control characters
