some themes do not use index.php for the home page; http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
does your theme have a home.php or front-page.php template?
what theme are you using?
I make a theme by myself and used it now
and i dont have home.php or front-page.php . and i added this code in index.php
Hi
I’m not sure why it’s not working as the code looks good.
You don’t have any chaching plugins or code in oortation that would stop the changes from being seen do you?
Kevin
finally i find a plugin who work like the_excerpt code. but i must find where is the problem?
Hi
I don’t think it is your code you have a problem with as I tested it on one of my sites and it works fine.
