Hi,

thanks David and Vavu.

I prefer the solution of David, because it is shorter.

Now it put´s the <br /> after 126 characters.

How can i test, when after 126 characters comes a white-space to put the <br
/>
element, to avoid  :

word10 word11 resulting in wor<br>d10 word11
--------------------------------------------^----------------------
------ this is character 126 -------^

but i want

word10<br>word11

The text-node from memotext is always different, depending on the request.

Thanks,

Hans Braumüller
