wrap

wrap is a C++ code which reads a file and makes a copy in which long lines have been broken up.

The user specifies a maximum allowable line length. Any line of text in the input file that is longer than this length is broken into two or more lines, with all but the last of these pieces being exactly the maximum length.

Usage:

wrap old new wrap_length

• old is the file to be modified;
• new is the modified copy of the old file.
• wrap_length is the maximum line length, after which a new line should be forced.
