Wrap text with both spaces and no spaces

Question

Trying to wrap text using longtable combined with seqsplit but it won't format correctly for something like thisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexample with a space because seqsplit removes all spaces

\documentclass[pdftex]{report}
\usepackage[left=65pt,top=28pt,right=65pt,bottom=65pt]{geometry}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{seqsplit}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}{p{50pt} p{360pt} p{50pt}}

& \seqsplit{thisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexample with a space} & test \\

\end{longtable}

\end{document}

Answer 1

To preserve the spaces, use a control space \ or a tie ~ between the words:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[left=65pt,top=28pt,right=65pt,bottom=65pt]{geometry}% http://ctan.org/pkg/geometry
\usepackage{longtable}% http://ctan.org/pkg/longtable
\usepackage{seqsplit}% http://ctan.org/pkg/seqsplit
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{p{50pt} p{360pt} p{50pt}}
  & \seqsplit{thisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexample with a space} & test1 \\
  & \seqsplit{thisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexample\ with\ a\ space} & test2 \\
  & \seqsplit{thisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexamplethisisareallylongexample~with~a~space} & test3 \\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

The first row shows the original, the second uses a control space \ while the third row uses a tie ~ to preserve the spacing.
