Instead of text being split, pwd duplicates text

    echo Would you like to upgrade to osu!lazer version number: $x3
    read -r -p "Type [Y/N] to confirm decision: " response
    case "$response" in [yY][eE][sS]|[yY])\
    clear
    rm -f ~/Documents/lazerversion.txt 
    echo $x3 >> ~/Documents/lazerversion.txt 
    echo osu!lazer Updater
    echo -----------------
    echo Updating.
    x4=$(sed -n '/browser_download_url/p' ~/Documents/releasefull.txt | head -2)
    echo $x4 >> ~/Documents/tempresult.txt
    fold -s -w80 ~/Documents/tempresult.txt
    ;;
*)
    clear
    echo osu!lazer Updater
    echo -----------------
    echo Goodbye.
    ;;
esac

The problem is fold -s -w80 ~/Documents/tempresult.txt

I get the text above.

I want to get this:

"browser_download_url":
"https://github.com/ppy/osu/releases/download/2018.915.0/install.exe" 
"browser_download_url":
"https://github.com/ppy/osu/releases/download/2018.915.0/osu.app.zip"

The text above are in their own separate lines.

Is there anything wrong with the way I use fold -s -w80 ~/Documents/tempresult.txt

The original text I wanted to split into individual lines was;

"browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ppy/osu/releases/download/2018.915.0/install.exe" "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ppy/osu/releases/download/2018.915.0/osu.app.zip"

Thanks in advance, Rythmic
