在我看来，C_harm的答案是最好的。请注意，如果你想使用

"My string".truncate(n)

您将不得不使用regexp对象构造函数而不是文字。此外，在转换\S时还必须转义它。

String.prototype.truncate =
    function(n){
        var p  = new RegExp("^.{0," + n + "}[\\S]*", 'g');
        var re = this.match(p);
        var l  = re[0].length;
        var re = re[0].replace(/\s$/,'');

        if (l < this.length) return re + '&hellip;';
    };

以下是我的解决方案，与其他建议相比有一些改进:

String.prototype.truncate = function(){
    var re = this.match(/^.{0,25}[\S]*/);
    var l = re[0].length;
    var re = re[0].replace(/\s$/,'');
    if(l < this.length)
        re = re + "&hellip;";
    return re;
}

// "This is a short string".truncate();
"This is a short string"

// "Thisstringismuchlongerthan25characters".truncate();
"Thisstringismuchlongerthan25characters"

// "This string is much longer than 25 characters and has spaces".truncate();
"This string is much longer&hellip;"

It:

在25之后的第一个空格上截断 字符 扩展JavaScript字符串对象， 因此它可以用于(并链接到) 任何字符串。 如果截断将修剪字符串 结果在一个尾随空间中; 是否添加unicode hellip实体 (省略号)如果截断的字符串长于25个字符

这里是我的解决方案与字边界。

let s = "At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id quod maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat." let s_split = s.split(/\s+/); let word_count = 0; let result = ""; //1 for(let i = 0; word_count < 100; i++){ word_count += s_split[i].length+1; result += (s_split[i] + " "); } console.log(result); // 2 word_count = 0; result = s_split.reduce((x,y)=>{ word_count+=(y.length+1); if(word_count>=100) return x; else return x+" "+y;}, "").substring(1); console.log(result);

人们希望用JavaScript而不是CSS来实现这一点是有充分理由的。

在JavaScript中截断为8个字符(包括省略号):

short = long.replace(/(.{7})..+/, "$1…");

or

short = long.replace(/(.{7})..+/, "$1…");

如果你想用css而不是JavaScript;

.textShortDesc { /*Here we have determined the max number of lines.*/
    display: block; /* or inline-block */
    -o-text-overflow: ellipsis; /* Opera < 11*/
    text-overflow: ellipsis; /* IE, Safari (WebKit), Opera >= 11, FF > 6 */
    word-wrap: break-word;
    overflow: hidden;
    max-height: 2em; /*max-height/line-height=rowCount */
    line-height: 1em;
}

修正Kooilnc的解决方案:

String.prototype.trunc = String.prototype.trunc ||
  function(n){
      return this.length>n ? this.substr(0,n-1)+'…' : this.toString();
  };

如果不需要截断string对象，则返回string值而不是string对象。
