    Am running FBSD-4.10p2

    I have a serious need for some help on a CGI script I just installed.
    I've tried to reach the author but no dice there.

    It's used to automate "unsubscribes" on a mail list.

    It works well except for this:
    It changes my mail list from this format:
    name1
    name2
    name3

    ...to this:
    name1name2name3 <---one big long line with no separators.

    With over 6000 names it makes a huge long line instead with no space
    between
    the names either. It make a mess!

    I know how to convert
    name1
    name2
    name3

    ...to
    name1 name2 name3.....

    like this:
    #cat mybadlist | xargs > mygoodlist

    ...but, need the reverse.

    So how can I convert
    name1name2name3
    ...back to the original format?
    name1
    name2
    name3

    Would really appreciate your help as it is really messing up my mail
    lists....

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards,

    Jack L. Stone
