Hello sand1234,
Here is the explanation of it:
As you could see there are 2 %s written in printf which are connected to following.
%s -----> length($0)==80?ORS:""
%s -----> $0
1st one is having condition check if length of current line is 80 then print a new line or print nothing.
2nd one is simply printing $0, since we have already set either we need to print new line for this line or not so no need for anything else here.
Thanks,
R. Singh
