| Scott 30/06/2019 9:51pm | I'm trying to truncate a string that I'm printing. I tried using Split with max_split set to the length of the string, but that didn't seem to work. How can this be done?
Is there anyway that I could limit the length of the text being sent to the Growl application. I'm often getting extremely long links being displayed in the notification which are very distracting and slow to display. |

string obj.Sub(start[, end]); Or in context: MyStr = "This is my test string"; JustThis = MyStr.Sub(0, 4); Print(JustThis + "\n"); This The second arg will limit the output to a fixed length. |
