Just a first swag, but how about something like....
<cfset MyString = "your big giant string" />
<cfset CharCount = 0 />
<cfset NewString = "" />
<cfloop list=#MyString# index="i" delimiters=" ">
<cfif CharCount + Len(i) LTE 250>
<cfset CharCount = CharCount + Len(i) />
<cfset NewString = ListAppend(NewString,i," ") />
<cfelse>
<cfbreak />
</cfif>
</cfloop>

Looking for a suggested resource where I might find how to trim a string
to a certain length, but not chop the words..
such that it would be say 250characters, but then go back to the last
space.
I was thinking of just a rtrim, but wasn't sure if there was a better way?
Thanks
