Just found this nice Regex snippet that helps you, getting the first 100 characters of a text, but won’t cut your text in the middle of a word.

^.{0,99}\S\b

Many thanks to Coder’s Block for sharing this with us.

When working with servers, developing applications, trying out new software or just playing around with my local system things often do not work as expected. Sometimes it takes hours to solve such a problem and often the solution is very simple. Too simple to find the way into my brain ;-) One month later, I could run into the same problem again but cannot remember the solution.

Because of this I began to write down those problems and how to fix them; and I love to help others, so I share it with you.
