Please use code tags as required by forum rules!

That depends on VAR1's contents. If created with "\n" separators, use double quotes when using ( echo ing) the variable.
If it just contains spaces, try echo $VAR1 | tr ' ' $'\n' .

Another way:

printf "%s\n" $VAR

More efficient since it doesn't require any externals.
