I have this code in my page print $query->p ("iCAD Detail   : $Detail\n"); and this is stored in $Detail variable: 
'Sep 30 2016 8:32AM - [2] [Notification] [CHP]-Problem changed from IN
+FO-Information to CLOSURE of a Road by CHP\nSep 30 2016 8:32AM - [1] 
+#2 NB LN CLOSED FROM EL RIVINO TO SANTA ANA\n'

[download]
As you can see it's a mess and very unreadable. Now my question is how do I format it better so it does a newline right before it display the date? something like this: 

Sep 30 2016 8:32AM - [2] [Notification] [CHP]-Problem changed from INF
+O-Information to CLOSURE of a Road by CHP\n

Sep 30 2016 8:32AM - [1] #2 NB LN CLOSED FROM EL RIVINO TO SANTA ANA\n
+'

The values in $Detail are copied form a database entry.
