String Processing

I had a file with 150k records in it and I ran a tr on it to remove all new lines/CR which created one large record(whoops). Is there a way to add a \n after every 39th character without using 'dd' to turn it back into the original format? dd is way to slow. shell is ksh.

unwrapdiff

UNWRAPDIFF(1)							     Man pages							     UNWRAPDIFF(1)

NAME

       unwrapdiff - demangle word-wrapped patches

SYNOPSIS

       unwrapdiff [-v] [file...]

       unwrapdiff {[--help] | [--version]}

DESCRIPTION

       unwrapdiff demangles patches that have been word-wrapped, in an attempt to make them useful.

       The corrected diff is sent to standard output. Note that you will probably need to use the -l option when applying the patch, in order to
       ignore any whitespace differences there may be.

OPTIONS

       -v
	   Verbose operation. A list of lines that are modified in a way that might be wrong is sent to stderr.

       --help
	   Display a short usage message.

       --version
	   Display the version number of unwrapdiff.

LIMITATIONS

       Some heuristics are used to decide whether use a space to recombine a wrapped line, or just join them together. Currently this is done by
       comparing with last three characters of a line with the first two characters of its continuation, and using a space if any of them are
       different.

       The patch needs to have been valid before being word-wrapped.

       The last line of a hunk is nearly always ambiguous. If the next line begins "@@", "Index: ", "diff " or "--- " then it is taken to be
       complete; otherwise it is unwrapped using the next line.
