Im trying to find out if there are any string manipulation functions in jstl because im tryong to truncate a sentence for example i want to only display the first 10 characters of a sentence.
Im looking for something that would allow me to do something like <c:out value="{$left(sentence,10)}" />
JSP 2.0 introduces functions, and JSTL 1.1 defines several standard functions, including a substring one. The specs aren't final though, so I don't have a great suggestion on how to do it today. In a couple of months though I'd expect the servlet engines will have it ready to use.
