I have large text file where the lines are all continuous without any carriage return. I need to reformat the file so that each line has a length of exactly 105 characters (including whitespaces).

e.g.

Sample text file:

This is test line number 1.This is test line number 2.This is test line number 3.This is test line number 4.This is test line number 5. This is test line number 6.

Need to format it like below -

This is test line number 1.
This is test line number 2.
This is test line number 3.
This is test line number 4.
This is test line number 5.
This is test line number 6.

Any sort of leads for solving this problem surely will help.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
