I'm just looking for a push to get started... I do have some perl
skills (pretty lowlevel to be sure) so can do basic formating with
printf and such.
But here... I expect my input to be pretty uniform actually already
formatted ok. Except, 1 or 2 lines somewhere in the input that will be
longer and make reading the output a bit of a chore.
I want to catch those long lines and format them like one might format
a news/mail message... wrapped at column 72 or so but also indented
whatever spcs looks good.
I looked at perldoc -f format but that says its about pictures and
doesn't appear to be intended to format text.
Imagine input like:
some var=setting otherinfo otherinfo2
some var=setting, that , is way longer than any thing else in the
history of mankind otherinfo otherinfo2
some var=setting otherinfo otherinfo2
------- --------- ---=--- --------- --------
The `var=setting' with all the baloney should be wrapped but still end
up with the last 2 elements lined up like the other lines:
some var=setting otherinfo otherinfo2
some var=setting, that , is way longer than any
thing else in the history of mankind
otherinfo otherinfo2
some var=setting otherinfo otherinfo2
