Limiting number of characters in a variable

[darknode 3]

I have a table being populated by a bunch of variables, but the design is broken when it exceeds the total width allowed.

pretty standard issue for most people i'm sure.

 

Is there a way to delete all content in a variable after a set number or characters or replace it with something like ...

If I understand you correctly I think you are looking for "$substring"  function.

 

Here is a quick example:

set(#STRING Long, "long string", "Global")
set(#STRING Short, "{$substring(#STRING Long, 0, 4)}...", "Global")
