How to split up text

[f000ker]

for example i load in a ebook and it takes it and looks for a " " or space
and then sends the word to the next line for example

This is just a example of the next.
this
is
just
a
example
of
the
next.

and so on.

that works good is there away to do it like every 5th space?

Search for space

Replace with \n

[Bob Hansen]

Search for: (([^ ]* ){5})
Replace with \1\n

Starting with this:
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve

Replace All results with this:
one two three four five
six seven eight nine ten
eleven twelve


Rugular Expression with POSIX on.
