Hello. How can I line-wrap a text file that was not wrapped before (e.g. like text file created on Microsoft Windows's notepad, the software does softwrap by default, thus the file created using it often have very long text lines) by using command pipe?
I could use vim, activate some formatting options and use gq. But that couldn't be used on a pipe. I could use groff, but that command line looks too complicated: $ head -n1 max_payne | groff -Tutf8 | grep --invert-match ^$ Life was good. A house on the Jersey side across the river. The smell of freshly cut lawns. The sounds of children playing. A beautiful wife and a baby girl. The American dream come true. But dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you’re not looking. Besides groff wraps not according to the console term width, but according to the paper size in /etc/paper. It would be nice to have something wrap my text by using console width (what you get with '$ stty -a | head -n1') -- Real Softservice Huateng Tower, Unit 1788 Jia 302 3rd area of Jinsong, Chao Yang Tel: +86 (10) 8773 0650 ext 603 Mobile: 159 1111 7382 http://www.realss.com
