Truncate a string which contains HTML

[Badgers]

Hi,

I have a string which contains HTML for eg;

"<strong>the fox jumped over the fence</strong>"

But if I truncate say at character 5, I'd loose the closing tag.

There could also be a range of potential html tags as well.

Anyone has any slick ideas how to write a routine, to add the closing tags back after a string cut.

Thanks

You would probably have to write some complicated RegEx with grouping functions. Then figure out what tags you truncated and add them back. This seems like a very complicated task. Good luck.
