Hello,
I have a series of strings that I need to split if they are longer
than a
particular length, say 30 characters. But I need to make the split at
the
previous space.
What I do is something like,
(1) use substring to truncate at 30 characters
(2) remove a trailing space and any number of not-space characters
with replace()
(3) if there's nothing left, use the first 27 characters followd by ...
or …
That's probably the same as David's algorithm in effect.
