Hi,
it seems, the text contains a mix of line endings, most editors I tried display
the text the same like PSPad, only windows notepad shows fewer longer lines like
in your sample.

cf. the displayed file in Scite editor ( https://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html ),
which keeps the lineendings and does not unify them like PSPad and some other
editor
https://ctrlv.cz/XF5v

windows notepad seems to only accept the windows standard line ending CRLF and
ignores lone LF, hence there are no line breaks for single LFs in the file.

Other editors support multiple formats from othe different OSes: CR or LF or
CRLF and interpret them as well; in that case there are linebreaks also at LF.
I Can't verify the correct display of the text, there might be other problems,
e.g. with script direction LTR - RTL and possibly the encoding.

If there is the right content, only with extra LF marks at some positions I
recommend unifying this to some suitable form - e.g. replace LF with spaces or
similar and keep only one type of line endings - e.g. the current CRLF, if you
use windows.

E.g. in Scite, you can replace these characters using CTRL+H and checking the
item [
        ] - transform backslash expressions
then you can replace e.g.


with
[Empty]
(this will remove the LF, if there should be a space or another character, just
add it as the replacement string.)
Additionally, you can also replace

to


to get usual windows line endings, but it might not be needed.

The unified file can then be opened in PSPad normally - containing lines with
numbers a tab and quoted text.

As far as I know, this conversion itself cannot be currently done with PSPad (or
maybe using hex editor somehow (?)), as the line endings are converted and
unified internally, they cannot be manipulated this way as there are usually
single-style line endings in whole text.
It is possible that you can do this in some other editor too, if this mixed file
content could be created ...

hth,
