Welcome to the perl community! Try looking at substr in perlfunc. Update: you may also get something out of the -p and -i switches. See more in perlrun.	[reply]

update: Or, to insert newlines at the 10th position and avoid double spacing lines of 9 characters, perhaps this `use strict; use warnings; while (<DATA>) { my $var=$_; $var=~s/(.{9})/$1\n/; print "$var"; } __DATA__ dgbjhdghjdfgjhd dfgjdjfghjkdhgdfg dgbhgdfjgjhgdfgdfg ghgjgglhkdjghkdhgk` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Why don't you show us what you've tried so far? (BTW, you realize that the 10th character of each line is not the end of a sentence... Do you want to rephrase the question, or the title of the post?)	[reply]
