Thread: word wrap

if you're looking for wordwrap in console,
look here.....

Code:

void mywordwrap(FILE *fp, char string[], short maxLineWidth) {

   short startIndex;
   short endIndex;
   short actualLineWidth;

   if (fp == NULL || string == NULL || maxLineWidth <= 0) {
      return;
   }

   
   startIndex = 0;
   endIndex = strlen(string);


    while (startIndex < endIndex) {

      
     while (startIndex < endIndex && isspace( string[startIndex] )) {
	 ++startIndex;
      }

      
      actualLineWidth = maxLineWidth;
      if (endIndex - startIndex > maxLineWidth) {
         while (actualLineWidth > 0 &&
            !isspace( string[ startIndex+actualLineWidth-1 ]) &&
            !isspace( string[ startIndex+actualLineWidth   ]) ) {
            --actualLineWidth;
         }
	}


       if (startIndex < endIndex && actualLineWidth > 0) {
	 fprintf(fp,"%.*s\n",actualLineWidth, &string[ startIndex ]);
      }

      
      startIndex += actualLineWidth;
   }
}

//syntax mywordwrap(stdout, chararray, 70);

GOOD LUCK

>How can I make a string full of text print without having to break a word and go to the other line??
The problem with this is that you do not know the width of the console window, so it is difficult to know when to wrap the word to the next line. The simplest method is to print words until the next word will hit the edge of the console screen, insert a newline before the word and keep going. Once again this involves knowing how many characters one line of the console can hold before wrapping.
