I am trying to stop users from adding in long obnoxious strings like qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq so I need some help, how would I search through a tring and check the length and then if too long cut it short? would I throw them all into an array and the and search each word?

nevermind I ended up figuring it out, this works for me. I ended up getting help from borg, well one of his functions in the forum v7 anyways. Thanks borg     

Dim strDesc
Dim saryDesc
Dim strFinalDesc
Dim intCount

saryDesc = Split(strDesc)
For intCount = 0 To UBound(saryDesc)
   If Len(saryDesc(intCount)) > 40 Then
      strFinalDesc = strFinalDesc & Left(saryDesc(intCount),40) & " "
   Else
      strFinalDesc = strFinalDesc & saryDesc(intCount) & " "
   End If
Next
Response.Write(strFinalDesc)
