FoldToListInput    --    convert string so it looks like a list of short strings


Syntax 
FoldToListInput(S: STRING, W: INT): STRING

Description
This function transforms a string so that it looks like a list of short strings (each of length at most W). Similar to fold, but the result is ready to be read by CoCoA.

WARNING: does not handle "funny" characters cleverly.

There is also FoldToList which returns a list of strings; it is disappointingly slow (so deliberately not properly documented).

Example 
/**/  n := factorial(100);
/**/  FoldToListInput(sprint(n), 60);
["933262154439441526816992388562667004907159682643816214685929",
