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;
