i want to implement a code for setting a max character in a result page.

can sombody give me a code to do that?

It has to look something like this:

I have a horse and it is for sale........<read more>.

i have tried to do the following:
<p class="style1 style5"><%=(paardSet.Fields.Item("omschrijving".Value)%></p>

in to:

<p class="style1 style5"><%=(paardSet.Fields.Item("omschrijving".Value,50)%>......</p>

but it does not work.

use the LEFT function like so.

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;p class="style1 style5"&gt;&lt;%=Left(paardSet.Fields.Item("omschrijving".Value,50)%&gt;......&lt;/p&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code>

now it will only show the first 50 characters.
