The standard mandates how to wrap, not where; ldapsearch wraps at 76 cols to be nice with many terminals while not breaking the standard. > 1. Any reason to not introduce a switch to toggle wrapping ? See <http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Contrib?id=1885> > 2.

Many people posted many different scripts in many different languages (including, I believe, shell by way of awk) that do it. I cannot find them right now, and it's hard to say if it would take longer to search the archives or to write one from scratch. p. -- Pierangelo Masarati mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SysNet - via Dossi,8 27100 Pavia Tel: +390382573859 Fax: +390382476497
