Text stuff

[SpecT]

Hello folks!

Could you guys tell me how to show a too long text with "..." ?

Here is an example:

"Asd asd asd asd asd asd long text asd" to "Asd asd asd asd ..."

Thanks in advance!

local maxLen = 8 -- maximum length 
local a = "Your string here" 
if #a > maxLen then 
    a = string.sub ( a, 0, maxLen ) .. " ..." 
end
