Firstly please make your editor do line wraps at something like 75 chars,
you have made an attempt to break the longest line record, its 406 chars
long.
I have a script here for doing just that, if it will suit your needs i
dont know, i did not write it, i will send it to you if you want it.
You could call the script at a certain time every day/week from cron.
