How to constrain text to a certain area?

I’m trying to make a bingo board so I don’t want the text of the each space to go over a certain area. What would be the best way to accomplish this? Sorry if it’s obvious I’m still fairly new to corona. [import]uid: 151050 topic_id: 28674 reply_id: 328674[/import]

Okay I figured out how to do this in the documentation but now I’m getting an error. Here’s my code:

[lua]local text1 = display.newText(“Text Text Text Text Text”, 0, 0, [20, 100,] native.systemFont, 16)[/lua]

The error:
unexpected symbol near ‘[’

EDIT: Figured out the error, just had to remove [and]. This can now be closed. [import]uid: 151050 topic_id: 28674 reply_id: 115605[/import]
