This will take a sting and wrap it @ 90. Just replace or set 'locString' to
the var that contains your data. Is your report text or html? If it's not
html, replace the <br> with #chr(10)##chr(13)#.
<cfif trim(locString) neq "">
<cfset locSpace = 0>
<cfloop condition="len(locString) gte 90">
<cfset locSpace = refindnocase(" ",locString,90)>
<cfif locSpace eq 0>
<cfbreak>
</cfif>
<cfoutput>#mid(locString,1,locSpace)#<br></cfoutput>
<cfset locString = mid(locString,locSpace,len(locString))>
</cfloop>
<cfoutput>#locString#</cfoutput>
</cfif>
Have fun,

Subject: Wrapping Text
I'm trying to get a long text string to wrap properly in a printable
report. Anyone have a graceful way of finding the last space before a
certain character, say 90? Also, I could use fixedsys font to be sure
that 90 is always a good wrapping point. Is that the best option?
