Example : I have the following Java String : ``` String str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrtuvwxyz"; ``` I would like to cut the String at length = 8 : Result must be: ``` String strOut = "abcdefgh..." ```

Accepted Answer

Use substring and concatenate:

```
if(str.length() > 50)
    strOut = str.substring(0,7) + "...";
