Gregor B. Rosenauer commented on LANG-405:
------------------------------------------
Henry, I understood your original comment and you are right that the
documentation does not explicitly mention this. However I remember this String
function was indeed supported, and in any way the reference was only ment to
illustrate the feature I am suggesting here...,-)
FWIW, here is a screenshot to an example (it seems to just cut out the part
exceeding the total length from the middle), 3rd screenshot that shows the mail
messages:

Internet Mail Services
(Aah, BeOS is still good for some inspiration:)
> StringUtils.truncate() to cut out middle part of a String
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-405
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-405
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Gregor B. Rosenauer
> Priority: Minor
>
> It would be handy to have a String method that cuts out the middle part of a
> String such that as much as possible is kept from the start and end of the
> String, but the middle part is replaced by an ellipsis "..."
> BeOS had a function like this, but it's poorly documented, missing examples:
> http://www.beunited.org/bebook/The%20Support%20Kit/String.html#Truncate()
> e.g.:
> A very long text with unimportant stuff in the middle but interesting start
> and end to see if the text is complete.
> becomes:
> A very long text...to see if the text is complete.
