    Hi:

    I have a mainframe file, which means no cr/lf nonsense. Instead,it's fixed length records of 1400 bytes. Is there a way to force a line feed every 1400 character so that the file is easier to read?

    TIA,

      You have 2 possibilities:

      First you can set UltraEdit to wrap at column 1400 without modifying the file just for better viewing. You can find this option at Advanced - Configuration - Editor Display - Miscellaneous - Maximum columns before line wraps.

      Second you can really insert a cr/lf at every 1400 characters with File - Special Functions - Insert String At Every Increment. The string you have to insert is ^p for cr/lf.
