07 Feb 2006	urs (us) schwarz	nice exercise with regular expressions, it will get a 5/5 if it handles multiple white-spaces more consistently, eg, with a final DEBLANK(?) moreover, a pointer to TEXTWRAP, which implements an only slightly different engine, would be nice us
08 Feb 2006	urs (us) schwarz	for users: a great little helper that wraps your endless line into a nice little parcel (command line output/uicontrols)... for programmers: look at the remarkable regular expression... us

Updates
08 Feb 2006	Implemented suggestions from Urs: Use strtrim on the input string to remove leading and trailing whitespace; use deblank on output array to remove trailing whitespace; add cross-reference to textwrap.
