    Output cell limited to 20 characters

    Hi, I'm trying to see if I can have my output file to only read and output the first 20 characters of a cell. For example:
    P-47 Thunderbolt: Bolt From The Blue: American War
    P-Star Workout DVD: Exercise Your Body And Mind
    P.S. I Love You


    these 3 outputs should be:
    P-47 Thunderbolt: Bo
    P-Star Workout DVD:
    P.S. I Love You

    (btw, the output doesn't have to be in one cell. it should be in 3 cells. like B1:B3 is the output and the source is A1:A3)

    also, the "P.S. I Love You" is under 20 characters so it should output the same.
