example:
string="kljhsadflkhasfdjkhasdflhsadlfjhsadfjhsdlfhaslfdhsadflsdaflhasdfljkh";
console.gotoxy(10,1); //move to the first row, 10 spaces from the left edge
console.putmsg(word_wrap(string,10));
result:
kljhsadflk
asfdjkhas
flhsadlfjh
etc....
----------------------------
What I needed was for the string to wrap at a distance from the left side,
but the word_wrap function displays the rest of the wrapped lines at the
beginning of the next line.
desired result:
kljhsadflk
asfdjkhas
flhsadlfjh
etc..
you dig? I got it working, at any rate, just wanted to get on the same page
with you in case you know of a better/easier way to do it.
