|
Expression |
^([\s\S]){1,20}([\s\.])
|
|
Description |
This pattern returns as much of the first x characters of a string as full words or sentences as a match, where x is currently 20. Change x to adjust the length supported in your database field.
I'm currently using this within a string shortening utility to shrink large text regions to word/sentance-boundary elements and appending an ellipsis as a text continuator.

Matches |
Any text of any length | ...but will only 'match' the first 20 characters at a period or space.

|
Non-Matches |
N/A
