Wrapping long text without white space inside of a div

I am having issues with wrapping text. I am generating some hexencoding encryption and the output is too long like:

827938828ey823876te37257e5t328er6367r5erd663275e65r532r6s3624e5645376er563rdr753624e544341763r567r4e56r326r5632r65sr32dr32udr56r634r57rd63725

and it continues. When I put it inside a div, it won't wrap it even if I assign a specific width, because they are all together. I want it to continue from the next line if the div is not wide enough for one line.

How can I do that?

white-space: pre-wrap

is what worked for me for <span> and <div>.

I have found something strange here about word-wrap only works with width property of CSS properly.

#ONLYwidth {
  width: 200px;
}

#wordwrapWITHOUTWidth {
  word-wrap: break-word;
}

#wordwrapWITHWidth {
  width: 200px;
  word-wrap: break-word;
}

You can use the following

p{word-break: break-all;}

        <p>LoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolorLoremipsumdolor</p>

You can't wrap that text as it's unbroken without any spaces. You need a JavaScript or server side solution which splits the string after a few characters.

EDIT

You need to add this property in CSS.

word-wrap: break-word;
