How to limit the excerpt for RSS feeds?

    Hey people!

    To keep it short: I’m using this in the “functions.php” of my theme to limit the “regular excerpt” for my category pages:

    function my_excerpt_length($length) {
	return 32;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');

    Is there any similar functionality to limit the excerpt for RSS feeds? Since the “excerpt_length” filter does not seem to catch on in feeds at all.

    Tnx for all feedback you can provide…

    Quick an simple answer, sharing my solution with those looking for the same thing:

    function my_feed_modder($content) {
    $content = explode(' ',$content);

    $content = array_slice($content, 0, 4);
    // where 4 is the number of words to show

    $content = implode(' ',$content);
  return $content;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'my_feed_modder');
