The following one-liner should do it (it works for me):

perl -pe '$_ .= "\n"' <filename>

You could also do the following:

perl -pi.bak -e '$_ .= "\n"' <filename>

<filename> will now contain the double-spaced text, and <filename>.bak
will contain the original file.
That seems to do the trick, however I'm finding that it isn't matching
when I do a case insensitive search for something that isn't a complete
word.  For example a user name of " nathan " or " Nathan " works.  But
DOMAIN\Nathan gets skipped.

How can I fix that?  Thanks for all of the help!

There's no matching going on here.  What are you trying to do that
isn't working?



My mistake. I used the perl statement above in another script. That script does the searching/matching. So disregard that last question. Thanks for the help with the line breaks though!
