function to shorten words?


Guest

Recommended Posts

i want to shorten only the big words, not to shorten a whole string

 

example:

 

"this is a text with small words and a big word like " anticonstitutionally " and i want to shorten words that exceed 10 characters"

 

would result in

 

"this is a text with small words and a big word like " anticonsti" and i want to shorten words that exceed 10 characters"

What would you like to use this for?

 

sorry for late reply...

 

on my website i have a menu that display the last post of my forum. when a user move the mouse over a post, it display a "popup" with the first words of the post... but sometimes the post contains long words and the words will appear outside of the popup because they are too long

 

so i need to shorten the words like in the example i gave

 

example:

 

"this is a text with small words and a big word like " anticonstitutionally " and i want to shorten words that exceed 10 characters"

 

would result in

 

"this is a text with small words and a big word like " anticonsti" and i want to shorten words that exceed 10 characters"
