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]
