Left(myTitle, 15) Ade
-----Original Message----- From: Saturday (Stuart Kidd) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 September 2005 13:31 To: CF-Talk Subject: restricting cfoutput character length Hi, I'm trying to do something which i can imagine is very simple but can't find the function. When i display a title <cfoutput>#myTitle#</cfoutput> i'd like to just display the first 15 characters and if more then put three dots (periods). I know the LEN function but i can't work out how to replace the text with dots after the 15th character. Any help would be great, Thanks, Saturday Stu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
