How to trim script output?

I want to limit the number of characters in a script output.

To see what I mean, go here.

The 4th title on the page needs to be trimmed, but I can't seem to find out how to do it.

A little help would be appreciated

 

In PHP just use Trim function.

 

$max_chars = 40;
if (strlen($title) > $max_chars) {$tok = strtok($title," ");$kim = $tok;
if (strlen($kim) < ($max_chars-10)) {$tok = strtok(" ");$kim = $kim." ".$tok;};
if ($kim != "$title") {$kim.="...";};
$title = $kim;

 

use functions like substr and or wordwrap.
