def wordwrap(textinput,width,font)
    lines=[]
    if (textinput.text.index(' ').nil? and 
font.text_width(textinput.text) > width)
        no_lines=font.text_width(textinput.text)/width
        b = no_lines.ceil
        no_chars=textinput.caret_pos
        no_each_line=(textinput.caret_pos / b).ceil
        for i in 1..b do
          if i < b
          lines.push(textinput.text.slice((i-1)*no_each_line.to_i,no_each_line))
          else
          lines.push(textinput.text.slice((i-1)*no_each_line.to_i,no_each_line+b))
          end
        end
    else

        words = textinput.text.split(' ')
        lines = [words.shift]
        words.each do |word|
          if font.text_width("#{lines[-1]} #{word}") < width
            lines[-1] << ' ' << word
          else
            lines.push(word)
          end
        end
    end
    return lines
  end


something like this - is what I need to do but I am chopping the text in 
to equal parts to make it fit into lines within the box,
