This is my final function and I did end up using split. Basically I
didn't know what I wanted until I started playing around at first
attempt I thought just break the str up every 40 chars well that
obviously would chop up words. My needs were simple I had to insert a
<br> every so many characters (width variable). It may not be elegant
but it works. I have taken heat for posting to begin with but if anyone
has any comments on how to clean it up or if I didn't follow proper
syntax let me know.
Here is what I finally came up with:
Function InsertBreakatFullWords(str,width)
myarray = split(str)
for j = 0 to ubound(myarray)
if (len(mystring) - lastlength) > width then
mystring = mystring & myarray(j) & " " & "<br>"
lastlength = len(mystring)
else
mystring = mystring & myarray(j) & " "
End if
next
InsertBreakatFullWords = mystring
End Function

Subject: RE: Split a String at a Specific Length
Why do a character at a time?
sWithBreak = ""
sSep = ""
lUpper = Int(Len(sText) / iWidth)
For i = 0 to lUpper
sWithBreak = sWithBreak & sSep & Mid(sText, i * iWidth + 1,
iWidth)
sSep = "<br>"
Next
Regards,
Tore.

I will take my lumps and go to sleep knowing that I should have never
posted to the list. I apologize for the inconvenience. You were
correct is was only a couple of lines. I was just having a mental block
or something.
Function InsertBreakatSpecificLength(str,width)
for i = 1 to len(str)
if i mod width = 0 then
mystring = mystring & mid(str,i,1) & "<br>"
else
mystring = mystring & mid(str,i,1)
End if
next
InsertBreakatSpecificLength = mystring
End Function

Is there a function similar to Split to Split a string every 40
characters instead of Splitting at a specific character?
