Question Help with splitting lines in a file using awk
I have a file which is one big long line of text about 10Kb long.
Can someone provide a way using awk to introduce carriage returns every 40 chars in this file.
Any other solutions would also be welcome.

Thank you in advance.

sgmlpre

SGMLPRE(1)						      General Commands Manual							SGMLPRE(1)

NAME

       sgmlpre - handle SGML conditionalization for SGML-tools

SYNOPSIS

       sgmlpre [options] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the sgmlpre commands.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page for sgmlpre.

       sgmlpre is a program that handle SGML conditionalization for SGML-tools

       It is used by other programs in sgml-tools (v1), and usually normal user does not need to use this program directly by himself.

       Following is quoted from the header in the source code.

       (Begin Quotes)

	      sgmlpre -- handle SGML conditionalization for SGML-tools by Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>, 3 Nov 1997

	      Filter SGML according to conditionalizing markup.  Argument/value pairs from the command line are matched against the attributes	of
	      <#if>  and <#unless> tags.  Spans between <#if>/</#if> are passed through unaltered if there is no attribute mismatch; spans between
	      <#unless></#unless> are passed if there is at least one attribute mismatch.  An attribute mismatch happens  if an  attribute  occurs
	      in  both the command-line arguments and the tag, but the values do not match.  Value matching is by string equality, except that "|"
	      is interpreted as an alternation character.  Even if a span is not passed through, its newlines are (this to avoid  messing  up  the
	      line  numbers in error messages).

	      This  lexer  requires flex.  Limitations; attribute names may only be 256 chars long, values may be only 16384 (YY_BUF_SIZE) charac-
	      ters long.  Doesn't do checking that only </if> matches <if> and </unless> matches <unless> (that would need a stack  and  introduce
	      another limit).

       (End Quotes)

OPTIONS

       The program does not support normal command line options.

SEE ALSO

       For a complete description, see the header in the source archive.
