And if the number of charaters exceeds 28, to trim the string? In other words, IF I wanted the length of the return to always be 28 characters... Example.... <@ROWS> (<@COLUMN "Products.Name">)<br> </@ROWS> (brackets are added to show the length of the string) would return the following... (Golf Clubs ) (Golf Tees ) (NEW Parker White Teeshirt fo) (Kensington White Shirt ) (Parker Pen ) (NEW White Womens Fleece Hand) I know I can use <@substring> or the <@trim>s to truncate if the length is over 28 charaters, but how about if it is under 28 characters?
