Batch file to format text file

[Strippierfsqefqerfqe]

I have a text fiel which contains

[Google - Windows Internet Explorer]<LMouse>[Google News - Windows Internet Explorer]<LMouse>[DIY Book Scanners Turn Your Books Into Bytes | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - Windows nternet Explorer]<LMouse>

I need to get it into lines
ie..

[Google - Windows Internet Explorer]<LMouse>
[Google News - Windows Internet Explorer]<LMouse>
[DIY Book Scanners Turn Your Books Into Bytes | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - Windows Internet Explorer]<LMouse>

Effectvley the new line delimiter is the [ (start new line when see this character). I am thinking I need to use the DOS FOR command with TOKENS but not sure .....

Any help appreciated....

Thanks

Did you consider some utility like this?

You could do it manually pretty easily with a simple search & replace in Notepad++ (free).

Set the search Mode to Extended then search for <LMouse>and replace with <LMouse>\n.

You get the benefit of seeing the end result and being able to do an undo if it's wrong.

Hi,
If you need to do this kind of thing often and on many files, try WinGrep:

This works well...... Thanks to "Herbert Kleebauer

Would anyone trust such an assembly? Source code could be format c: ...
