Re: Tiny little paragraph wrapper

Your version chops off the beginning of words that are longer than the wrap length, instead of temporarily increasing the wrap length like the original snippet does.

For the text "Check out http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=438189 (it has nice line-wrapping snippet).", here is the output:

method 1:

Check out
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=438189
(it has nice
line-wrapping
snippet).
[download]

method 2:

Check out
.org/?node_id=438189
(it has nice
line-wrapping
snippet).

Try this regex `s/(.{5,12}\s+)/$1\n/g`. On the sample text it gives: :-) `Check out http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=438189 (it has nice line-wrapping snippet).` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
