Limiting Text in Query Results

Simple Way of limiting the amount of text shown from dbase results just replace the 10's with the amount of charactors you wish to limit.

Code:


<%
'Define Topic
Topic = rs("topic")

'Limit amount of Characters to show
Topic = left(topic,10)

'iF 10 Characters is not Null then show first 10 with ... after the first 10

if mid(topic,10) <> "" then
     Topic = left(topic,10) & "..."
end if

'display results of topic
response.write("topic")
%>

or simply

Code:


<%=("topic")%>
