display x number of characters

[jrthor2]

If i have a string that has 5000 characters in it from my database, when I display that to the user, how can I only show, for example, the first 200 characters?

thanks

Hello jrthor2,

I dont know, which database are you using. Anyway, I wrote a program for your reuirement. Its may be helpful for you.


class PickXCharacters{

public static void main(String args[])
{
// Assign a String data in to String Variable
//If you are using a Database, Get a Data from DB and Assign into the
// String Variable

String strData=
"The UN security council criticised President Rajapakse for destroying"+
"the 2002 truce by trying to reoccupy the areas recognised as "+
"under Tiger control.";
// Gets first 50 characters from the String
String strPick=strData.substring(0, 49);
System.out.println("First 50 Characters as follows => "+strPick);
}
}
