Carlo Sirna has written a FileLocator Pro Text Converter to concatenate lines that Delphi splits when they reach 80 characters in length. Carlo has been kind enough to also include the Delphi source code for the Text Converter.
DFM Extension (with source code - 84kb) :
http://www.mythicsoft.com/download/FileLocatorProDelphiDFMExtension.zipInstallation instructions can be found in the included INSTALL.TXT file.
Message from Carlo:
"DFMs are ascii files in wich delphi stores property values for all the components that make up a TForm... the problem is that delphi splits string constants that are longer than 80 chars
The only source file that has been hand-edited is DfmConverter.pas... anything else comes from delphi's ActiveXLibrary wizard.
I didn't write any legal mumbo jumbo. Anyone is free of modifying and copying it at will."
