I can't say I know the answer to the question, but I think he's asking, "How can I split a file on the nearest whitespace every X number of characters?" I don't think split -b does this (and I'm not aware of any simple tool that can). I think this will require development of a script to accomplish. Maybe some regex magic with split -p can do it. -- Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
