    <p>I've written code that takes a large block of text, splits it into 995 character blocks and pushes each block into an array. However, this often results splits words when they fall at the 995-character line- how could I edit my code so that each block of text is as close as possible to 995 characters long (must be under) but ends at the last available space?</p> <pre><code>function cutUp() { var PAname = prompt("Determine PA type and PA Name (e.g. 5=mexican food="); var chunks = []; var OGstring = document.getElementById('PATypes').value; var my_long_string = OGstring.split('1').join('').split('2').join('').split('3').join('').split('4').join('').split('5').join('').split('6').join('').split('7').join('').split('8').join('').split('9').join('').split('0').join('').split('[edit]').join('').split('[citation needed]').join('').split('[').join('').split(']').join('').split('(').join('').split(')').join(''); var i = 0; var n = 0; while (n &lt; my_long_string.length) { chunks.push(my_long_string.slice(n, n += 995)); } if (chunks[0] != null) { $('PAType=Name=Value8').innerHTML = PAname + chunks[0]; } if (chunks[1] != null) { $('PAType=Name=Value9').innerHTML = PAname + chunks[1]; } if (chunks[2] != null) { $('PAType=Name=Value10').innerHTML = PAname + chunks[2]; } if (chunks[3] != null) { $('PAType=Name=Value11').innerHTML = PAname + chunks[3]; } if (chunks[4] != null) { $('PAType=Name=Value12').innerHTML = PAname + chunks[4]; } if (chunks[5] != null) { $('PAType=Name=Value13').innerHTML = PAname + chunks[5]; } if (chunks[6] != null) { $('PAType=Name=Value14').innerHTML = PAname + chunks[6]; } if (chunks[7] != null) { $('PAType=Name=Value15').innerHTML = PAname + chunks[7]; } if (chunks[8] != null) { $('PAType=Name=Value16').innerHTML = PAname + chunks[8]; } if (chunks[9] != null) { $('PAType=Name=Value17').innerHTML = PAname + chunks[9]; } ////this is to create new exportable table $('exportTable').innerHTML += $('tableContents').innerHTML; $("exportTable").removeClass('hidden'); ///this resets to default defaultReset(); </code></pre> <p>}​</p>

    1. COI doubt that `PAType=Name=ValueX` is a valid selector.

    2. COWTF, use regexes for your removal of strings: `OGstring.replace(/\[(edit|citation needed)\]|\d|[[()\]]/g, "");`

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
