Re: Breaking text

I'd start at the 25th character and work back until I found the first space.
Then you split the text up at that position.  Much simpler than scanning
forward.

It's quite possible you truncate characters doing this.  If you have all 50
characters filled with words and you backed up a few characters to break on
a space into the second 25 character field you'd end up losing a few
characters on the end of the 50 character string.
