Hi Again,

I just read in HackFox that Alines() is quicker than using Mline(). Also, mline will strip trailing blanks.

Using the alines will give you more control over the parsing and being able to split at spaces.

>So what you are implying here is that the SET MEMOWIDTH will automatically limit MLINE to returning a word wrapped line that does not exceed 75, but can be less than 75 characters. Is that correct Sergey?

SET MEMOWIDTH TO 75
>>lcMemo = < text to format >
>>lcNewMemo = ""
>>_MLINE  = 0
>>FOR i= 1 TO memlines(lcMemo)
>>	lcNewMemo = lcNewMemo + MLINE(lcMemo,1,_MLINE) + CHR(13) + CHR(10)
>>ENDFOR

>>REPLACE mymemo WITH lcNewMemo
>>* or if you don't want CRLF after the last line
>>REPLACE mymemo WITH LEFT(lcNewMemo, LEN(lcNewMemo)-2)
