Method

Stringtrunc(String in, int len)
This method is used to truncate a string to a specific length. 
if (in != null && in.length() > len)
    return in.substring(0, len);
return in;
Stringtrunc(String s, int length)
Takes a string and a length, and truncates it to that that length. 
if (s.length() <= length)
    return s;
else
    return s.substring(0, length);
Stringtrunc(String s1, int length)
trunc 
if (s1 == null) {
    return "";
if (s1.length() > length && length <= 2) {
    return s1.substring(0, length);
if (s1.length() > length) {
    return s1.substring(0, length - 2) + "..";
...
Stringtrunc(String str, int length)
truncate a String to the desired length 
if (str == null)
    str = "Error";
else if (str.length() >= length)
    str = str.substring(0, length);
return str;
Stringtrunc(String string, int length)
Truncates the String by removing characters from the right side of the String so it is length characters long. 
int absLength = Math.abs(length);
if ((string == null) || (string.length() <= absLength)) {
    return string;
if (length < 0) {
    int sLength = string.length();
    return string.substring(sLength - absLength, sLength);
return string.substring(0, length);
Stringtrunc(String txt, int size)
trunc 
if (txt == null)
    return txt;
else if (txt.length() > size) {
    return txt.substring(0, size - 1);
} else {
    return txt;
Stringtrunc(String value, int len)
trunc 
if (len < value.length())
    value = left(value, len);
return value;
Stringtruncate(final String description)
Truncates the input description to maximum 100 character length. 
return truncate(description, 100);
Stringtruncate(final String in, final int maxLen)
Truncates string to maxLen. 
if (in == null || in.length() <= maxLen) {
    return in;
} else {
    return in.substring(0, maxLen);
Stringtruncate(final String originalString, final int maxChars)
Truncates a string to a given length if it exceeds the length. 
if (originalString == null) {
    return null;
if (maxChars < 1) {
    return "";
if (maxChars >= originalString.length()) {
    return originalString;
