creating a line break after 5 words

[drosberg]

Hi all, I've created a form with a memo field where enter text in an unformatted format. I would like to add a second field to the form which takes this text and forces a line break after five words, continues with a second sentence of 5 words, 3rd, etc. I've looked through the text string functions and some examples but I'm stuck.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Actually I'm looking for code examples that might work. Just aa beginner.

Thanks

Not quite sure where to start so I will see if I can find an example.

Thanks so much for your help. What a useful forum.

Start with the code you've already tried. Post that and we can see where you went wrong. You said you already tried some string functions and examples so start by posting those.

array1 = Split(memo field," ") 
WRD_CNT = Ubound(array1) 

If WRD_CNT = 5 then
   Response.Write "</br>"
Else
End If

Take a Start Counter of 1 and increment using For Loop..When Counter Reaches 5 make it 1 again..Put the above Code in the For Loop
