as with most all programming langs, CF has String functions Left(), Right(), and Mid(). So for what you want to do, something like this will do
#Left(report.maint_report_task,25)#...

I have a filed, #report.maint_report_task#, that will be displayed via a <cfoutput>. How can I display just a portion of what the field contains?
If it contains: "blah, blah, blah, blah" Because of display constraints, I want it to just display a portion with the three periods after it: "blah, blah...".
Does the trim function factor into this?
