Abstract
A method and system for truncating character strings in a computing environment. One implementation involves receiving a list including plural character strings, truncating one or more of the character strings to generate a display list of unique character strings based on determining a truncation location within each string by: for each character string, comparing the string and corresponding Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), if the string is different from the URI, then truncating the beginning of the string, otherwise if the string matches the URI, then truncating the end of the string.
