Would running the file through a simple filter to convert the "\cL"s to "\n" not solve the problem? 

perl -ple" s[\cL][\n]g" < file > modified

    Thanks for that. The c in "\cL" was the bit (no pun intended) that I didn't know about! Once you gave me that information all of my previous attempts to resolve this now work. Cheers, Ronnie
