Hi Joerg,

your solution target also my problem in the
Re:  count string-length without white-space and breaking if
white-space exists after 126 characters
thread.

Do you have an idea how to convert

testverylong stringgreatert hantwentychar 
to 
testverylong stringgreatert <br> hantwentychar 

i mean if i encounter more than 20 character in my selection i wait until
the next white-space to insert a <br>

I have a blackout today. I cannot figure it out.
My talent lies more in the design than in written programms.

Thanks,

Greetings from Hamburg, Germany.
Hans Braumuller
