RPM Break Lines Transform
What it does
If lines are too long, or the file contains no line terminators, RPM can add line breaks at configurable intervals.
Purpose
We were frequently getting asked a question along these lines:
My print job is one long block of text. What do I do?
We found that some systems, particularly mainframes, treated their documents with a defined line length on their own system. Yet, when they transmit that document to another computer system, or to a printer, the line delimiters are removed (probably because they were never there in the first place).
I have overheard these conversations frequently over the years, where a customer explains their dilemma and our support tech says, “We have just the tool for you!” It’s a very simple concept and does just what you want.
Setup
- Line break length: Any lines longer than the line break delimiter will separate this value.
- Line break delimiter: The character(s) to be used as the line terminator. Windows-style newlines contain both a carriage return and a line feed. Click Update to access the Edit Bytes dialog to customize the delimiter.
