Is there a way, when programming for the console in C++, to do a word wrap-like function. In which the words are moved to a new line if they cannot fit on the line they are on instead of being cut half way through and finished on another line. If ther is a way to do this, I'd really appreceate the help. Thanks, Pete Johnson

someone helped me with this question before... here's the function... i call it neatprint.. void neatprint(FILE *fp, char string[], short maxLineWidth) { short startIndex; short endIndex; short actualLineWidth; /* Do nothing if invalid inputs are received. */ if (fp == NULL || string == NULL || maxLineWidth = the ending index */ while (startIndex maxLineWidth) { while (actualLineWidth > 0 && !isspace( string[ startIndex+actualLineWidth-1 ]) && !isspace( string[ startIndex+actualLineWidth ]) ) { --actualLineWidth; } } /* Output desired part of line. */ if (startIndex 0) { fprintf(fp,"%.*s\n",actualLineWidth, &string[ startIndex ]); } /* Move pointer to next section of buffer. */ startIndex += actualLineWidth; } } //syntax neatprint(stdout, chararray, 70); Good Luck www.akilla.tk

ah... all the code doesn't appear in this forum no matter how hard i try... i can't help it, sorry.

Then post it at www.subduck.com. Where all text is displayed on the screen!
