Help with code: Split text after number of Characters

Hi! A bit ugly, but this works:

{% with str="The product is great for baking chocolate chip cookies" %}

    {% with str2=str|slice:":35" %}

        {% with str_split=str2|split:" " %}

            {% with str_split_length=str_split|length|add:-1 %}

                {% with str_split_slice="0:"|concat:str_split_length %}

                    {{ str_split|slice:str_split_slice|join:" " }}

                {% endwith %}

            {% endwith %}

        {% endwith %}

    {% endwith %}

{% endwith %}

It takes the first 35 characters of the string (which I assume would come from the catalog item vs. being hard-coded), splits on spaces, and takes all but the last “word”, assuming the last one might be a partial word.

It’s not perfect, since if the last word is complete, it’d still remove it, but at least you don’t get partial words.

Hi!

Thanks for your answer :)

How would you include {{ catalog_item.description }} in your code as to avoid “{{ catalog_item.description }}“ being seen as the text itself, instad of the data it is supposed to pull?

I works thank you :)
