[DWMX/ASP] Truncate some database output 1

[uridium]

Hi,

I'm building a search results page.

I want to show the content of each search result, but I want to truncate it to the first 100 characters or so. In the example below, I would want the red bit truncated to 100 chars.

<li>
<%=(SearchResults.Fields.Item(&quot;entry_heading&quot.Value)%>
<br/>
<%=(SearchResults.Fields.Item(&quot;entry_content&quot.Value)%>...
</li>

Any ideas how to do this?

(If its been answered already feel free to point me at the thread in question )
