Re: Line size in a text widget

[Daruma]

Greetings, witandhumor!

I'm having a hard time visualizing what you are trying to do here.

Is this to be a text box where the text wraps to the next line at 30 characters?

or

Is this to be a text box that limits the information to 30 characters?

I should have clarified...sorry about that. This is a text box where the text wraps to the next line at 30 characters.

not tested, just an idea...

use Text::Autoformat;
  my ($allTheText) = shift;     ## all your text to format
  my (@lins);                   ## your resulting lines
  my ($widthTxt)  = 30;        ## your line width...
  {
    my ($formated)=autoformat($allTheText, { left=>5, right=>$widthTxt
+, all=>1}) if ($allTheText);

    foreach (split(/\n+/,$formated))
      {
    push(@lins,$_); ## array w/lines of max.30chrs.wth.
      }
  }
