Re: [IUG] Print templates: monographs

Try this use of the substring Java function:

<textFieldExpression
class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[(!$F{branchesLabel}.equals("")) ?
(($F{branchesLabel}.length() > 10) ?
$F{branchesLabel}.replaceAll("\\s","").substring(0,10) :
$F{branchesLabel}.replaceAll("\\s",""))
: ""]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>

This is also editing out the spaces (replaceAll) - you might not want to
do that.
