80-column text reflow - Hanlin V3
Hey, guys.
I'm a cheap ass and only buy a few eBooks. Thankfully, all the Linux man pages and Howtos, as well as many computer documents, are available free in ASCII. Unfortunately, they're all in 80-column text. Does anyone have a simple script for changing the wrapping? I was thinking maybe sed could replace double newlines with special character x, then remove single newlines and replace x with newlines. I figure smart people have solved similar problems with all the subsequent problems. If anyone knows something like that, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Thanks, Eric |

This worked for me:
1. Open the file in vim 2. Type ":%s/\n\n/#/g" 3. Type ":%s/\n//g" 4. Type ":%s/#/^M/g" # is the character you choose to mark a double newline ^M is obtained by typing "CTRL-V" and "ENTER" Hope this works for you, L. |
