break up line length after N characters
-
I have a web page where I have text files (some with HTML commands included) that are loaded into a page using FSO. I can't get the text to wrap properly when it is loaded into a table - it just keeps extending across the page, pulling the whole layout out of whack. I have no idea why this happens, as the text theoretically should just wrap within the table. What I am wondering is if anyone knows a way to go through the text file, and once say 80 characters has been exceeded, replace the next available space between words with a line break? and then keep going through all the text until each line is roughly 80 characters or so long. (I just don't want to end up cutting up any HTML commands) e.g. I wouldn't want to end up with Y>. Of course, if you had any lo-tech ideas as to fixing up the display of a text file read into a table, then that'd be just as good...

If you are using the FSO object then just append a "
" at the end of your WriteLine method. HTH Nick Parker
