Hi, I am a RegExp newbie, and need help with this: i have a long string (500 / 600 chars), and need to split it in lines.
Each line has a maximum length (20), and words in the line
shouldn't be
cut, instead the line should end at the end of the word whose last
char position is <= 20.
the effect is like a left align in a word processor, where lines wrap at 20, and the words are not cut.
example:
string= "aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd eeeee ffffffffff ggggg" (char) 1111111111222222222233333333334444444 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456
regexp should output:
"aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd eeeee ffffffffff ggggg"
Is it a sensible thing to do this job with regExp or is it better to use the usual string functions?
The latter -- "the usual string function" in this case being http://www.php.net/wordwrap.
Cheers!
Mike
