I have an object with lots of text. I wont to display the first 100 chars of it rather than the whole thing.

I know I've seen this somewhere but I can't seem to find it now.

Could somebody point me in the right direction please.

Thanks

This being said, beware if your attribute is an xml text, as you might cut it between the start end the end of the tag (eg: <b> Char n°100 </b> Would cut the text before the </b> and might seriously screw up your layout.
