Reflow will reflow lines in a text file roughly the same length. It removes excess whitespace from all lines. You can use it several ways: java.exe -jar reflow.jar somefile.txt will reflow somefile.txt so that all lines are about 60 characters long, with a blank line between paragraphs (text originally separated by one or more blank lines.) java.exe -jar reflow.jar somefile.txt 100 will reflow somefile.txt so that all lines are about 100 charecters long. java.exe -jar reflow.jar somefile.txt nowrap will reflow somefile.txt so that all paragraphs each fit on a single line without breaks. This is a useful for for pasting into web forms where you might comment on news stories. If you have the *.jar extension set up you can abbreviate that to: reflow.jar somefile.txt nowrap If you have Jet installed, you can compile the jar so that you can abbreviate further to: reflow somefile.txt nowrap The output replaces the text in the input file. Be careful not to use it on anything but txt and html files. The parallel line icon represents before and after Reflow adjusts line lengths and removed great chunks of white space.
