I want to do an enhancement request for ldapsearch, because it insert a line break after 78 characters. Many people like me use the ldapsearch command in shell script and have to workaround this issue. Maybe it make sense to add a command line option to deactivate this line breaks.

I'd rather recommend to use a decent scripting language with LDAP and/or LDIF modules than using ldapsearch in shell scripts. This gives better control over data and error handling.

Ciao, Michael.
