Can XMPie Truncate data?

[Starr S]

Is there a way to cap the length of a single line of data. If a persons name is to long and we don't want to do auto-fit and shrink the font size to keep all data the same size and each on it's own line.

[Tyrone O’Brien]

Here is a script to check the length of name if it exceeds 

if (Length(@{Full Name}) > 10)
{
    (SubString(@{Full Name}, 0, 10)) & "..."
}
else
{
    @{Full Name}
}

In this script:

• Length(  @{Full Name}  ) checks the length of the name.
• SubString(  @{Full Name}  , 0, 20) extracts the first 10 characters of the name.
• (..., "...") adds an ellipsis (...) if the name exceeds the 10-character limit.
