Checking word lengths on long strings

[Smo]

what would be the easiest & most afficient way of checking the length of every word of user input, on for instance forums? I hate how the layout gets messed up if someone posts long "words".

I want to make a script that checks the lengths of words and cuts then down if nessesary.

[Edit]
the example didnt work here :P

If you're using PHP, check out the wordwrap() function. I've used it extensively for formatting email messages sent out by scripts. It works well for formatting things.

Keep in mind that web browsers automatically wrap text unless it is inside a tag such as <pre>. On forums non wrapping text is usually used when someone posts something like code, where you don't want it to automatically wrap.
