Forgot to mention this is to be run after eregi_replace("([[:alnum:]]+)://([^[:space:]]*)([[:alnum:]#?/&=])", "<a href=\"\\1://\\2\\3\" {$t}\">\\1://\\2\\3</a>", $str); as it only replaces long strings within <a> tags

Hi, I have this ereg to turn URLs into links:
eregi_replace("([[:alnum:]]+)://([^[:space:]]*)([[:alnum:]#?/&=])", "<a href=\"\\1://\\2\\3\" {$t}\">\\1://\\2\\3</a>", $str);
... found it in the manual i think, or maybe on weberdev.com examples
Anyhoo, it places the whole link in between the <a...> and </a>, which is
fine for short links, but on longer links (in my case, around 60+ chars), it
messes with my table or CSS layout.
So, I'd like to subtr() the 2nd capture part down to 55 chars or something
IF it's longer than 60, and append a ... to it.
ANY ideas on how this is done? Or is this beyond regexp??
TIA
