Re: Printing long(er) lines

It is wrapping because your window is 72 columns wide. Try looking at the file in a longer (wider?) window.

Hi dragonchild - I am experiencing this problem in writing my data to a file - this is not a display issue. When opening the output file with vi I have the last bit of my data - a 6th string - on a line below where everything else (the first 5 strings..) is printed. And yes, this happens with every line. No, there is no "\n" in my "print" command. I can only surmise that there is something in either my perl - or - unix environment that is causing this newline behavior. I first thought it to be a perl phenomenon but now I'm wondering if it is something like $TERM that is causing this....	[reply]
