C-shell: print result from row to column

I have outputs:

1 rpt 4 qor 5 are 6 oip

I want it to become :

1 rpt
4 qor
5 are
6 oip

This is my code:

set d = `sort "04.txt" | uniq -c`
echo $d

With your shown samples, please try following.

xargs -n 2 < Input_file

From man xargs:

-n max-args, --max-args=max-args Use at most max-args arguments per command line. Fewer than max-args arguments will be used if the size (see the -s option) is exceeded, unless the -x option is given, in which case xargs will exit.
