vi: Line too long

Question

When I use vi to analyze log files, it sometimes is stuck with the error: \'Line too long\'. I can watch the file using more, but that\'s not what I want.

Answer 1

Find out the limit supported, then use fold

fold -80 your_file | more

Or

fold -80 your_file > /tmp/your_file.0
vim /tmp/your_file.0
