What is that method called?

I need the method that has the ability to turn a long string like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Pellentesque
pulvinar turpis a nisi. Cras id elit. Aliquam vitae pede nec lacus
elementum lacinia. Ut aliquam vehicula sem.

into a shorter string like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Pellentesque
pulvinar turpis...

My problem is that I can't remember what the method is called. I looked
through the whole Ruby String documentation
(http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/S...) but I couldn't find it.
Can anyone remember what it's called?

There's no such method in Ruby. You might be thinking of the
truncate method that's part of ActionView's TextHelper module.

I seriously doubt this is part of standard Ruby.

You have probably seen this in ActiveSupport and/or the 'english' gem
- English::String#brief:

Cheers,
