Hello mad man,

Not sure but the Input_file which you have shown doesn't have any line whose length is more than 1330, so if you are using same Input_file I don't think so it will show any output. You could confirm by doing following too.

Code:

awk '{print length($0)}' Input_file

In case no line is having more than 1330 length then you could change the length into above code.

Thanks,
R. Singh

unroff

UNROFF(1)						      General Commands Manual							 UNROFF(1)

NAME

       unroff - convert troff documents to plain text

SYNTAX

       unroff [ -E ] [ -J ] [ -8 ] [ -mxx ] [ file ...	]

DESCRIPTION

       unroff  processes  documents  written  to be formatted with troff (or nroff, or any of the other *roff variants) and converts them to plain
       text.  This is similar to what deroff does, but the result is sometimes better than deroff output.

       Optional flags may be given to modify the operation of unroff, as follows:

       -E     Echo input tokens as they are read.  Useful mainly for debugging.

       -J     Join output lines that would be part of a single paragraph so they form a single output line.  This is useful if you  plan  to  move
	      the  resulting output into a document formatter that treats paragraphs as a single line.	The default is to do line wrapping accord-
	      ing to the line length specified in the input document.

       -8     Write 8-bit ISO Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) characters.	This option may be useful for producing output intended to be  viewed  on  devices
	      capable  of  8-bit  character  display.	Without  this  option,	8-bit  Latin-1	characters  will  generall appear in the output as
	      ``[[name]]'' where ``name'' is the troffcvt internal name for the character, e.g., ``[[Aacute]]''.  For some of these characters, an
	      ASCII approximation will be used if something reasonably close is available.

       -mxx   Specify macro package, usually -man, -me, -mm, or -ms.

DIAGNOSTICS

       line  length clipped to nnn chars.  A very long line length was requested, so long that it would likely result in output line assembly buf-
       fer overflow.  The length is clipped to prevent this.

       output buffer capacity exceeded.  This means some line is so long that it couldn't be collected in the output line assembly  buffer.   Most
       likely this signals a bug in tc2text, since the length is supposed to be kept within reasonable bounds (see previous paragraph).

BUGS

       unroff doesn't do so well with tables, particularly tables with multiple-line cells.  Table centering isn't handled.
