I would just like to ask if there is a way for UNIX to ignore/overcome the 255 character limit of the command line?
My problem is that I have a really long line of text from a file (300+ bytes) which i have to "echo" and process by adding commands like "sed" to the end of the line, like the following:
I have read in here that there are character limits (depends on system), and tested the system I'm using and indeed, it can only process commands not exceeding 255 chars. Have also read on changing the values of ARG_MAX (limits.h) but unfortunately, my access has no permission on changing those values.
Is there a way to overcome this limit without changing system parameters? Like setting a temp buffer for the string of text/commands?
Is there a limit (255 chars?) on the command line??

I have a topic line in markdown that spans more than 80 characters that i need to add a line break. Markdown is simply treating the line break as a brand new line instead of continuing as a topic line.
Eg:

warnquota.conf - configuration for warnquota
SYNOPSIS
/etc/warnquota.conf
DESCRIPTION
The warnquota.conf file stores a configuration for warnquota(8) tool which is used to notify a user or a group who exceeds its disk quota
limits.
The syntax is an option name followed by an equal sign and the option value. White space characters surrounding the option names and val-
ues are allowed.
Empty lines or lines starting with a hash sign or a semicolon are ignored.
An option value can but does not have to be quoted. The value can span across multiple lines provided each previous line ends with a back-
slash.
Some option values can contain formatting sequences which will be expanded to their respective values. Following sequences are recognized:
%d domain name
%h host name
%i, %s user or group name
%% literal % character
| new-line character

time unit. Known units are seconds, minutes, hours, and days. Example: 5 days

CHARSET Defines character set for sent e-mails. Default value will be current locale character set used when executing warn-
quota command, if locale is not either C or POSIX. Otherwise no character set will be specified in the e-mails.
