StringBuffer()

[Jimmy Lopez]

I am trying to use the Stringbuffer().

I am trying to display in a table if the String is to long show, then display an elipses
... at the end of the string in the table ??

How can I accomplish this ?

What kind of "table" would this be? A database table? An HTML <table>? A Swing JTable?

You look at the length of the text, if it is too long you truncate it to the maximum allowable length and you append "..." to it.

What if that is just how you want the table cell to *render* it, and you don't want to lose any of the underlying text through truncation?

Then you do exactly what they said in the renderer.
