RE: Text wrapping question

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't' think that would work.  If the end of the string was:  'This is a
test... the end.' with the 'n' in end on position 37,  the end of the
%substr would still be '... the en' instead of '... the'

Regards,

How about (hang on!):
%subst(string:1:(%len(%trimr(%subst(string:1:37)))))

That should give the next programmer something to think about!
