Re^2: How to split a string based on length or word boundary

That works! Thanks for the quick reply. I changed the elsif code to

print "| $_ |\n" for map substr( $_ . ' 'x$menuWidth, 0, $menuWidth ),
+ $text =~ m[(.{1,$menuWidth})\s+]g;

As Athanasius pointed out above, you need to change that to: `print "\| $_ \|\n" for map substr( $_ . ' 'x$menuWidth, 0, $menuWidth ), + $text =~ m[(.{1,$menuWidth})(?:\s+\|$)]g; #..................................................................... +.............................^^^^^^^^^` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
