I have a log file that has very long lines (approx 300 chars each) with no whitespace in them. I'd like to be able to load the file into jedit and force the lines to wrap at a given column so that I can read the rows without having to scroll to the right. The hard and soft wrap does not work. I've also tried using Edit > Text > Format Paragraph to no avail (apparently all these methods require whitespace in the line in order to work). Does anyone know of a way to accomplish wrapping for lines that have no whitespace?

If this is a one-time thing you need to do, you could try another editor. Vim will wrap the display of lines to the window width without regard to whitespace (assuming ":set wrap" is in effect, which it usually is by default). Vim is available for Linux and various Unixes, of course, Windows (both stand-alone and under Cygwin) and other platforms, so in all likelihood, it's available for you. > Thanks, > Scott Randall Schulz > (apologies for the long signature) Instead of apologizing, could you simply dispense with it? |

Search: ([^\n]{60})([^\n]) Replace: $1\n$2 Make sure "Regular expression" is checked and change "60" to be where you want it to wrap. -- scragz http://scragz.com/ |
