truncating a string

Hi all,
is it possible to truncate a string so that I can show the first 30 words (or 150 letters or something) of a story as in introduction into the story on a subsequent page. I see this is included in 3.2, but I would like to try this in 3.1.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Ben

You would need to add this as an operator to allow the underlying php string function through to the template.

In 3.1 have a look at the ez lib file:

lib/eztemplate/classes/eztemplatewashoperator.php:

I see in 3.2 there is a new file for string functions:

lib/eztemplate/classes/eztemplatestringoperator.php

Hopefully from these files you can see what is going on. I find using 'grep' extremely handy to determine which files contain the things im interested in.
