Limit Character ?
Hello all,

I create new column 'Story' and i need to limit the output to 20 character, i try to create new global tag as below but still no luck :

Story_Limit =>
sub {
my $tags = shift;
my $Story = $tags->{Story};
$Story =~ s/^(.{20}).*$/$1.../;
return $Story;
}

Try:

sub {
my $tags = shift;
my $Story = $tags->{Story};
my $Story = substr ($Story, 0, 20);
return $Story;
}
