Hi all

I have a string that should be split to array of lines according to the following:
- newline donates end of the current line
- each line should be not longer than 5 characters and line can
split a word

Assume that there is no words longer than 5 characters

E.g. String "abc\n12 45678"
Line[0] = "abc"
Line[2] = "12 "
Line[3] ="45678";

Thanks

This example doesn't seem to match your description. What happened to
line[1], and why is line[2] only 3 characters long instead of 5 characters?
Could you describe better what you're trying to do?

BTW, why aren't you asking this question in a Perl newsgroup? The string
functions in Perl are hardly Unix-specific.
