These are all good steps in the right direction however, I haven't found anything that ties all this logic together.
Logic if first sentence is between 200-250 characters show that setence if no sentence, show first 250 characters +... if first sentence is less than 250 sentences, get as many sentences as possible before hitting 250 characters and output. Has anyone built something like this? Thanks Steve Bryant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I think you want: #Left(ListFirst(string,"."),100)#. (untested) > Instead of returning say just 100 characters.
