Insert newlines in data file 2

[teram]

In a unix environment, I have a data file with a few thousand rows of undelimited ascii data (no delimiters; contiguous data).

I need to convert this contiguous data file into a file of 22 character rows.

How can I use AWK to add a newline after every 22 characters? Does using AWK to add (/n) sound like the best approach?

Thanks for the help,
teram

Hi teram,

I suggest using fold

fold -22 contiguous-file > new-file

Hope this helps.
