Hallo ,

i have a problem and i need your help.

So i have a Message coming from my String-Data and this message can content 20, 40, 60, 80 Characters ( the lengh is not fix).

So i need to read the content of my String-Data write it on three Lines. Each Line can only accepts 20 Characters. 

So i used the function "find" to search for the and depending where i find it, i cut the text.With my Commands Left and Rigt i cut als my Text, but the Problem is the lengh .

i need for e.g. to print this:

- first Line : i drink coffee because

- second Line: i am tired

- third Line:Understood?

not like this:(i dont want have a cut between the words)

- first Line: i drink coffee be

- second Line: cause i am ti

- third Line: red Underst

Someone knows how to set this, so that i can always cut my programms at the right place.

Notice that i have 3 Lines, each Line has max.20 Charachters.

PS: u can also reply in German

Kinds regards.

I'm curious how you wanna fit 80 chars in 3 lines of 20 chars each?

For the what ? This might be crucial to understand your issue.

My approach to the problem would be - with system fcns:

- convert string to array of chars

- use SPLIT with source type CSV and a SPACE as delimiter

- CONCAT resulting strings (+ necessary SPACEs) keeping max allowed length

Or other solution searching for SPACEs in given string and finding the one closest to 20 chars limit. Then striping this part (LEFT/DELETE) and searching again.

Hallo Jack D,

i just exagered with 80 Chars.But the max i need is 60 CHAR.

i use already the FIND-Funktion to search blankspace.

But the problem is imagnine that i have in one Text 3 Blanckspaces less than 20 and in another 5 Blancspaces less than 20. So i muss sumarise it and let´s my programm knows when he can separates it.

So that equal what happen, the first 20 Charactes are only for the first Line, the second twenty are for the second Line(so from 21..40) and the next 20 Characters(from 41..to 60) are for the last Line...without cutting my words as i explained at The begining.

I wouldn't use FIND as it returns only the first result. Then I have to cut the string word by word. SPLIT does it all at once.

Anyway, you wrote that you are looking for a blank spaces, but obviously you are not splitting the text on them. Show the code you come up with. Maybe this can be fixed.

Hello,

so here u can see how i search m Blancspaces in my Text coming from "#stErrorText" .

i created a variable #Delimitator := '$20'; (its to look for blanckspace)

#stErrorText := CONCAT( IN1 := #stErrornum, IN2 := ' ', IN3 := #I_sErrorText);// this is my message

i did it many time..so i search for the index, cut the rest of the text with RIGHT and search again..

so how to continuous now?
