Is there any good way of truncating text with plain HTML and CSS, so that dynamic content can fit in a fixed-width-and-height layout? I've been truncating server-side by logical width (i.e. a blindly-guessed number of characters), but since a 'w' is wider than an 'i' this tends to be suboptimal, and also requires me to re-guess (and kee...
I have a table in a SQL Server 2005 Database that is used a lot. It has our product on hand availability information. We get updates every hour from our warehouse and for the past few years we've been running a routine that truncates the table and updates the information. This only takes a few seconds and has not been a problem, until no...

This should be a simple one, but my brains are a bit hazy today: I have an NSString * myOldString = @"This is a string (and this part is between brackets)" Now, I want to truncate the string in such a way, that basically everything between the brackets, including the brackets, is truncated. More precisely: I don't care what is happen...

Hi, I've looked around but wasn't able to find what I was looking for. I'm looking for a way to automatically create short URLs displayed in the browser, not using a URL shortener.

A 'truncate words' would take a string of words and return only the first, let's say, 10 words. In dojo (javascript library) they have such a function, whose code is this: truncatewords: function(value, arg){ // summary: Truncates a string after a certain number of words // arg: Integer // Number of words to tru...
I have a process that's writing a lot of data to stdout, which I'm redirecting to a log file. I'd like to limit the size of the file by occasionally copying the current file to a new name and truncating it. My usual techniques of truncating a file, like cp /dev/null file don't work, presumably because the process is using it. Is th...
I am having problems running a query without either truncating the note field in NotesTbl or returning repeated entries. UID is not unique for AccessTbl. When I leave out "distinct" notes will return multiple times because I am joining with AccessTbl on a non-distinct condition. When I use distict, the note field is trunctated because...
I would like to take the original URL, truncate the query string parameters, and return a cleaned up version of the URL. I would like it to occur across the whole application, so performing through the global.asax would be ideal. Also, I think a 301 redirect would be in order as well. ie. in: www.website.com/default.aspx?utm_source=twi...
Hi, I've got truncated parameters when passing very long file paths. I need to start a program and pass it everything via command params - sometimes it just truncates the command. It does it globally - so it's not only a problem for each parameter but for whole. edit: The problem is probably the limit on the command line length as monk...

I wonder if there's a plugin to enable a sort of smart truncation. I need to truncate my text with a precision of a word or of a sentence. For example: Post.my_message.smart_truncate( "Once upon a time in a world far far away. And they found that many people were sleeping better.", :sentences => 1) # => Once upon a time in a w...
I'd like to truncate a dynamically loaded string using straight javascript. It's a url, so there are no spaces, and I obviously don't care about word boundaries, just characters. Here's what I got: var pathname = document.referrer; //wont work if accessing file:// paths document.getElementById("foo").innerHTML = "<a href='" + pathna...
Hi, I have a user control in my asp.net web project. It displays the title of a blog post. If the title is too long, it will stretch the wrapped table and ruin the page layout. Is there a way I can chop the text after 40 characters IF the text doesn't contain a space in it? How would I check for the existance of a space anywhere, an...
We are about to deploy some code that truncates tables in our mysql 4 database. We are doing this to get around some replication 'weirdness' that we are seeing (and is widely known) with temp tables. My knee-jerk reaction when I saw this in a code review was "no", but I'm having trouble backing it up. So, the question is: am I just ov...
