Terminal word wrap gone?

One of my favorite features in tiger's terminal was the ability to turn OFF the word wrap. It was under Terminal->Window Settings...->Buffer->Wrap lines that are too long. I could uncheck that box and it would be helpful in viewing logfiles scrolling by (using tail -f). I think I'm insane because I cannot find this most basic feature in Leopard's terminal. I've experimented with some of the default settings like, Autowrap, Backwrap, and RewrapOnResize and changing these seems to have no effect. Can anyone tell me if this feature is gone forever? I really would like to know how to turn off word wrap in leopard terminal.

AFAICT, it's automatic. BTW, you'll most likely get a more cogent answer posting to the Unix forum under OS X Technologies where the Unix and Terminal mavens congregate.

[Solved]Conky and word wrapping - Is there a way?

So I have a very limited area to work with, something like 176x360 (+/- a few pixels), and I want the ability to show an RSS feed. Well, the feed works of course, but due to the limited width, I'm in great need of word wrapping, and for that problem I have found no solution and going on for 2-3 hours straight, my head hurts
Anyway, here's my .conkyrc, not that it's needed of course.

I know this looks confusing and probably is full of critical error, but that simple because I'm a conky noob. I basically just downloaded a profile I liked and completely changed it over the course of a few hours.
Anyway, I'm rambling again, but if you've got any idea's, please do let me know.
Best regards.

Okay, so I've found sort of a solution to part of the problem, so what I have so far look like this:
wget -quiet -O - archlinux.org/feeds/news/ | fmt -w 25 -g 25
It works as long as there are no words longer than 25 character, which I should think is rare, even including package names and such.
However there's still the issue parsing the xml so I get only what I want:
<item><title>$content</title><link>
This may be solved using some sort of terminal rss parser, but I would rather prefer not to.
Then there's the issue with reloading.
My current conky is set to reload every second, but of course one can't just pull the feed every second and I'm not convinced that conky has any built in solution for that problem. Of course I can always start a cronjob and save it all to a file, but portability would be nice.
anyway, I'll return later.

Webforms - Wrap Text/Word Wrap for Column Headings

I have some member aliases that are set as my webform's column headings, but they are fairly long. Setting the column width to a custom value that fits most of the text in the heading makes the form very wide and ugly to work with. I don't see any option to Wrap Text or use Word Wrap in the column headings. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am not aware of any option which allows you to wrap the text, it may be possible customizing the [CSS |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_hp_admin/ch12s03.html] though to be honest I am not even sure about that and even if it was possible it would apply to all apps.
Cheers

How to word wrap within text field

I've created a form with a text field but when filling the form out, the words don't word wrap, but merely go in a single line across the text box field.
When can I format the text box to word wrap?
tks

I have set my text fields to multi line and the text wraps but it only starts about halfway down the text box. Please help, this is getting frustrating...

How can I turn off word wrap in the View Source output?

I'm trying to extract HTML from Word and one way to do that is to save the Word file as a .htm file and then View Source in a browser and copy that. But the words are wrapped in the View Source file. I want each paragraph to be all on one line. Is there a setting for the View Source feature that will turn off word wrap?
Once I have that done and copied into a plain text editor, I will use Search>Replace to get rid of all the stuff Word puts there and just end up with the simple paragraph tags at the end of each paragraph, all on one line.

You can disable wrapping and syntax highlighting in the View menu in the Edit > View Source window.

Looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't cut it

I'm looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't work. In text edit, it automatically scoots my text over to the next line but I just want it to keep going with a horizontal scrollbar. Is there a text editor I can download from the app store or can I get textedit to work somehow where it uses a horizontal scroll bar instead of entering text to the next line?

Hi,
thought TextWrangler can do it.
But it seems that the 'no word-wrap' "feature" isn't that much wanted anymore.
Maybe one of these http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/text%20editor can do it.

Read Only TextAreas with Carriage Return, Line Breaks and Word Wrapping

Hi all,
I know there are a few posts around this subject but I cannot find the answer to the exact problem I have.
I have a page that has a 'TextArea with Character Counter' (4000 Chars) that is conditionally read only based on the users credentials (using the 'Read Only' attributes of the TextArea item).
When the field is editable (not Read Only) everything works fine but when I make the field Read Only I start to have problems:
The first problem is that the Carriage Return and Line Breaks are ignored and the text becomes one continuos block. I have managed to fix this by adding pre and post element text of pre and /pre tags. This has made the Carriage Return and Line Breaks word nicely and dispaly correctly.
However, it has introduced a second problem. Long lines, with no Carriage Returns or Line Breaks, now extend to the far right of the page with no word wrapping, making my page potentially 4000+ characters wide.
How can I get the field to be display only, with recognised Carriage Returns and Line Breaks, and Word Wrapping inside a fixed width of, say, 150 characters?
Many thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Just a cut and paste of yours with the field name changed:
htp.p('<script>');
htp.p('$x("P3_COMMENTS").readonly=true;');
htp.p('</script>');I also have the following in the page HTML Header, could they be conflicting?
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function setReleaseToProd(wpTypeCode){
//setReleaseToProd($v(this))
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=set_release_to_prod',0);
get.addParam('x01',wpTypeCode);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn) {
$s('P3_RELEASE_TO_PROD',gReturn);
get = null;
</script>I am a long way from knowing much about Javascript (this page code was written by someone else) so all help is much appreciated.

Word Wrap with a Vertical Grid

I've got a vertical grid with my headers in the left column and descriptive text in the column immediately to the right. I'd like to have the descriptive text word wrap but checking the word wrap box on the layout tab doesn't seem to have any effect.
Any ideas? I'm using 11.5 SP3

I'm not sure if it will work with the iGrid in a vertical orientation, but have you tried setting the RowHeight to something like 20 or 30 instead of the default of 0? This setting will auto adjust the grid lines based upon the font-size, but you may need to force it to a certain height in order for the wrapping to work.

Jeremy

How to make items in a list word wrap as needed and be variable heights

I am trying to build a custom itemrenderer for the List control. The items in the list are variable lengths of text, some of the text items will have different colors determined at runtime base on some criteria (this works fine now with my custom itemrenderer). What I need is for the items to word wrap, and therefore for the list to display items of varying heights. Is this possible to do? All my attempts seem to have failed. If I can't do this with an item renderer any suggestions about how to do this? Thanks very much in advance to any of you gurus who are able to help me.

Trick here is not to specify any height for the renderer so that Flex will determine the height according to the content. Also set the variableRowHeight="true"
Here is a simple example
<mx:ArrayCollection id="dp">
        <mx:Array>
            <mx:Object label="some very long text"/>
            <mx:Object label="some very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"/>
            <mx:Object label="some very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"/>
            <mx:Object label="some very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"/>
            <mx:Object label="some very long text"/>
        </mx:Array>
    </mx:ArrayCollection>
    <mx:List dataProvider="{dp}" variableRowHeight="true">
        <mx:itemRenderer>
            <mx:Component>
                <mx:Canvas width="100%">
                    <mx:Text width="100%" text="{data.label}"/>
                </mx:Canvas>
            </mx:Component>
        </mx:itemRenderer>
    </mx:List>

Force word wrap in JTextPane (using HTMLEditorKit)

Hi!
I have a JTextPane on a JScrollPane inside a JPanel. My text pane is using HTMLEditorKit.
I set the scrolling policies of my JScrollPane to: JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED & JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER.
I did not find in JTextPane�s API any relevant property I can control word-wrapping with (similar to JTextArea�s setLineWrap) and I have tried a few things to force word-wrapping but nothing worked...
What happens is my text is NOT being wrapped (even though there is no horizontal scrolling) and typed characters (it is an enabled editable text componenet) are being added to the same long line�
I�d like to force word-wrapping (always) using the vertical scroll bar whenever the texts extends for more then one (wrapped) line.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Your suggestion of using the example only holds if it fits the requirements of the featureDid your questions state anywhere what your requirement was?
You first questions said you had a problem, so I gave you a solution
You next posting stated what your where currently doing, but it didn't say it was a requirement to do it that way. So again I suggested you change your code to match the working example.
Finally on your third posting you state you have some server related issues causing the requirement which I did not know about in my first two postings.
State your problem and special requirments up front so we don't waste time quessing.
I've used code like this and it wraps fine:
JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
textPane.setContentType( "text/html" );
HTMLEditorKit editorKit = (HTMLEditorKit)textPane.getEditorKit();
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument)textPane.getDocument();
textPane.setText( "<html><body>some long text ...</body></html>" );
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( textPane );If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() - word wrapping exceptions?!

Hey ppl,
Probably a silly question...
I'm currently working with JDBC, and SQLexceptions can be very long! Currently displaying them in a JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() (as i guess most people do?), but being so long they cause it to span the whole screen & then some!
I looked through the JOptionPane API, but didn't spot anything that might help. Is there a way to get this exception to dispaly on multiple lines, kinda like word wrap in notepad?
Cheers for any suggestions.
Jim

I can't speak for other developers..But as for myself, I rarely if ever print error messages to the JOptionPane. Almost always, I print my error messages and the stack if necessary, to the ouput. This is either a command line window, console, log file, or output screen in an ide depending upon how you program. My code looks something like this.
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e.getMessage()); // Will print only the message property of the exception
e.printStackTrace(); // Will print the stack for more information
}Sorry I couldn't answer your question directly. Maybe someone else can. Hope I was helpful anyway.

JEdtiorPane/HTMLEditorKit word wrapping problems

Hi,
I have a JFrame component that has a splitPane, on the left side is a JTree and the right side has a JEditorPane that has it's content updated with HTML using a method to generate the HTML via the setText() method . (no url, and no html file)
The searching I did indicates that word wrapping is the default behavior, and I saw a lot of posts from people trying to get rid of the word wrapping, but it isn't wrapping at all for me. I get the horizontal scroll bar.
I had the same problem using a JTextPane...anyone know how to wrap text?
here's the relevant code:
descriptionPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
          descriptionEditorPane = new JEditorPane();
          HTMLEditorKit htmlEditorKit = new HTMLEditorKit();
          descriptionEditorPane.setEditorKit(htmlEditorKit);
          descriptionEditorPane.setSize(new Dimension(610,800));
          descriptionEditorPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
          descriptionPanel.add(descriptionEditorPane);

Did you place the components into scroll panes and then put those into the split pane?
If so, then I guess that calling setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER) on the editor pane's scroll pane might solve your problem.

DataGrid, HTML Text, and WORD WRAPPING

I have a datagrid, with 2 columns:
- comment
- date
The dataprovider that feeds the datagrid is an array
collection, with each object containing the following fields:
- comment
- date
- viewed
What I want to do is BOLD the comment cell if the comment has
not yet been viewed. What I first tried doing was to just insert
the <b></b> tags on the server and then feed them up to
Flex. So here's the code that I had tried to do this with:
<mx:DataGridColumn>
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label htmlText="{data.comment}" />
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
This works, but I lose the word wrapping for long comments (I
have wordwrap="true" defined on my DataGrid).
Then I tried changing my approach and doing something a
little more simple to try and preserve the word wrapping, like
this:
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="comment" width="100"
wordWrap="true" fontWeight="{(data.viewed==0 ? 'bold' : 'normal')}"
/>
Yet that doesn't seem to work either, it appears to just
completely ignore everything... no bolding whatsoever.
So my question is: what's the best to to control the BOLDING
of a DataGrid cell while at the same time retaining the word wrap
features?
Thanks,
Jacob

<mx:DataGridColumn>
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label htmlText="{data.comment}"
wordWrap="true" height="100%"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>

Text area and Word Wrapping

I am creating a email form and am having problems with word
wraping in the text area. You can view the page and the output if
you put your email address in the form. The problem is the text
areas word wrap when inputting your information but all formatting
is lost in the email. Even if I add spacing for paragraphs. All
data is just a big run on sentence.
Here is the
Page.
I am using Dreamweaver * and php.
Thanks

Someone may have tried this because I received this output in
an email. You can see the formattint is lost.
