How do you make a word wrap? As in if I gave you a string of 102 letters, how can I split that on two lines? or if I have more how to split to multiple lines? and even add to a table to use a for loop? I don't know >.<

Thank you that works a treat, what about a word wrap as you type?

Ah, now that's a bit trickier. What have you got already got written? You'll want your basic text input functionality sorted out first.

haven't even started just an idea, but I would assume you would need to somehow take in each letter one at a time, (could add it to the default read() function as an extra, read("*", true), who knows.
Then add it to a table, as you type, once the table hits the 51 character limit, go back through the table and find the first space and then add a new line in? who knows, but at the end you should be able to use table.concat()

What sounds like is that you could create a custom read function and instead of the normal term.write that it uses, use write, however that would bring about the problem of backspacing to get back a character after a line break.
If you want a copy of the bios.lua there's a github repo for all the CC code, read starts at line 226
Here.And the full repo is

easy, make a temporary table that keeps an eye on where you are, if you go back a space, it will read the last entry of the table and go up a line and to the end.
