I have a very long ASCII file and I need to interrogate line by line but to be able to do that I need to be sure that the pattern I am looking for is in that line and not in between two lines. To do that I want to CR a piece of the pattern first. For example: 
dasdfdafdsfadfdfaG57ewefdsfsdfsG
57dfadfasdfasdfsffdasG57dfsafdsf
sG57dfafdafdsfadfafdfasdfasdfasf
dafdfasdfasdfdsafasdfsdafasdfads
dfadfasfdsdfadfasdfasfdadsfasfdd
G57dsafdsfasdfadsfasdfadfadfadff
dfdf

[download]
I want to create a new file that looks like this : 
dasdfdafdsfadfdfa
G57ewefdsfsdfs
G57dfadfasdfasdfsffdas
G57dfsafdsfs
G57dfafdafdsfadfafdfasdfasdfasfd
afdfasdfasdfdsafasdfsdafasdfadsd
fadfasfdsdfadfasdfasfdadsfasfdd
G57dsafdsfasdfadsfasdfadfadfadff
dfdf

[download]
I looked everywhere but couldn't find how to do it.
