Guys thanks a lot for all the great feedback. I got more than I asked for. It seems that Duan's method \\n also worked but since I was loading the file in web-browser it wasn't translating the line breaks properly. By checking the actual file I found out that it was actually spaced out. However, Sacha's method provides another solid method as well. Thanks again, Bruce
