Hi

 

You can use str.left(80).

i.e. String str = 'fdsafdsafdsfdsfdsaf';

system.debug('>>>>' + str.left(80));

here you need not to check lenght of str.

 

You can also use Substring method.

 

i.e System.debug('>>>>' + str.substring(0,80));

but it will generate error is length of str is less than 80 so you need to check length before using this

String originalString="A String with more than 80 characters.....";
String myString = originalString.substring(0,80);

The myString now has the first 80 characters.

Hope this helps!

Yes and as dapanchal mentioned, you need to check for the length of the string as well.
