This is unix - why don't you use it:
/usr/bin/fmt:
 This manual page documents the GNU version of fmt.  fmt is a simple text 
 formatter that fills and joins lines to produce output lines of (up to) the 
 specified width  (default 75).  However fmt uses a best-fit line breaking 
 algorithm, by a simple version of "Breaking Paragraphs  into  Lines",
