Hello,

i search to read a line and to do a line return with some spaces ('\n
') if the line is longer than X characters.
do you have some tools to do that ?

i search around awk but it's not so easy than i thought.

thanks

I'm sure that that could be indented more readably, but I'm scared of
the awk parser.
