   Hi guys

   I have some custom post types, which I'm trying to pull out the first x no of words / letters of the post's content.

   However, when I use for example:

   substr(the_content(),0,100);

   this returns the entire post...

   I've tried using:

   $id->post_content

   but this returns nothing...

   I've also tried:

   <?php $cs_content = the_content(); ?>
   <p><?php substr($cs_content,0,10); ?>

   But again this returns the entire post..

   Any help would be MUCH appreciated.. This has been going on for a couple of days..

   Thanks
