gdfhghjdfghgfhf Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 You will need to write your own function for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdfhghjdfghgfhf Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
