I want to make it so only 25 characters will be shown.

I thought that the left(text,count) command would do it.. but it wont.

Any ideas?
- I'm making it so news will place.... after a certain amount of characters so that I can create a "Read More" , I just need the cut-off to work.

When I created a new cap to test it- it worked.

Checking to see if it has a problem with doing tokenat(x,x,x) and then immediately doing left(x,x,x) with the new text.
