Use 'String Truncate', set the length to 36 characters from the start.
I think the default is to add '...' at the end :)

Hi (again)
I can see that the "Image with String" has an output called
"Character count". Some of the strings that passes through that
patch are over 36 characters long, which I do not want. So I need to
find a way to set a "max char count", and if that max-limit has been
hit perhaps replace character 37 and over with "..."
Real world scenario: My Viz will show the song name. When the song
name is too long it will place itself over/under places I do not want.
How would you guys do this? Javascript? Some cool patches I have not
found? =)
Here is the javascript which precedes the "Image with String".
Perhaps work in some magic there?
/*
Convert some of the Track Info which is contained in a structure
into a formatted string.
*/
function (__string outputString) main (__structure inputStructure) {
var result = new Object();
var str = "";
if (inputStructure != null) {
if (inputStructure.name != null) str += inputStructure.name;
