Check out this nice example: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Rulers/Tasks/TruncatingStrings.html

See NSParagraphStyle.h

NSLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle	/* Truncate middle of line:  "ab...yz" ??? Doesn't work yet */

For a work-around, see BetterTruncatingStringsInTableView.

Thanks! This works awesome!

Here is a sample project showing NSLineBreakByTruncating. This example is based on the Apple code at the address above.

I added the option to truncate by using NSLineBreakByTruncatingHead, NSLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle, or NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail.
