Don't think that is very common. Anyway I think it's better tor truncate the value later, than to add a cryptic paramter to replaceString. Still, cannot think of why I would mix TS and "variables" and don't understand why a "variable" should limit my string length.

So, more opions on addString(string,posFlag) vs appendString/prependString? I thin kthe latter is more in line with stdWarp and its append/prepend objects and easier for non-programmers.
