Need help with displaying only part of a message as summary

by "Daniel" <dan_c@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Aug 6, 2008 at 05:09 PM

I want to use an existing table that contains a summary for the item 
details..

But on my page i want to display say the first 6 words or 35 characters as
a 
summary for an item, and use that as the link to the details page...

Not sure how to search for this, if someone can point me in the right 
direction on what to search for?


Current summary:
this item is a great addition to your purchase and has alot of extra 
features

Wanted summary:
This item is a great addition to........

i dont want to have to create a new table for the client to add the 
information again, i want to use the existing data and just display what i

want on the page..
