Hello, Here is a script 'oneline' that converts a hard-wrapped file to a one-line-per-paragraph, separated where there are two newlines. oneline wrapped.txt > one-line-per-para.txt oneline wrapped | xsel -b # copy to paste buffer 'onel' is a helper script so you can say onel wrapped Then paste where you want with Ctrl-V #!/usr/bin/perl $mark = '@!@&@'; # unlikely to occur in input text $/ = undef; $text = <>; $text =~ s/\s*\n\s*\n/$mark/og; $text =~ s/\s*\n/ /og; $text =~ s/$mark/\n\n/og; print $text; #!/bin/sh oneline $1 | xsel -b > Okay, so my text editing environment of choice is Nano running in the > Linux Console, and I'm constantly using the justify function to hard > wrap text because lines wider than the screen are difficult to work > with. > > If I need to post something I wrote in nano online, but can't just > upload the .txt, I'll save, close nano, switch to tty1 where I usually > have Firefox running in a stripped down xserver, open the text file in > Firefox, and copy and paste into the text box. > > >From my perspective, everything works fine, but I've gotten complaints > from sighted users about the extra line breaks from the hardwrapping > making text posted in this manner hard to read. > > Is there a way to make Firefox ignore the hard wrapping when copying > text from a hardwrapped text file to a web form, or failing that, an > easy means of copying a hardwrapped text file to an unwrapped text > file? > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > -- Joel Roth _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
