Re^2: In search of a better way to trim string length

Thanks, theAcolyte!

Ran your code. I think you need to add a space here:

     $clipped .= $_; # orginal
     $clipped .= "$_ "; # changed

With your code, when I passed the sub a string such as "this is a very long sentence without spaces in between", it gets transformed to "thisisaverylongsentencewithout" i.e. the original spaces were gone.

cheers

blah ... right you are! See what I get for posting untested code? Then again, I always post untested code ... :P
