I am looking for a perl function or easy way to shorten a long string if its over X characters.
Say I have: "Doe, John; 56943 Walnut Drive; SomeCity, NY" It messes up the display of my html form. So I would like it changed to: "Doe, John; ..... meCity, NY" Keep first 10 and last 10 characters and abbreviate all else. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] http://learn.perl.org/
