Split RSS text between the Title and the Summary

    I have managed to get my Facebook Status updates RSS feed on a site I'm working on. However, the title and the summary are currently displaying as the same thing.

    What I want to do is edit the PHP file (used to generate the feed) below, so each RSS item title is cropped after a certain number of words and the summary text then begins from where the title has ended. In other words, split the Facebook post displayed in the feed between the Title and the Summary.

    Is this possible? Thanks

    [PHP]<?php defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied.")); ?>

    <div id="rssSummaryList<?php echo intval($bID)?>" class="rssSummaryList">

    <?php if( strlen($title)>0 ){ ?>
    <div class="rssSummaryListTitle"><?php echo $title?></div>
    <?php } ?>

    <?php
    $rssObj=$controller;
    $textHelper = Loader::helper("text");

    if (!$dateFormat) {
    $dateFormat = t('l, F jS, o');
    }

    if( strlen($errorMsg)>0 ){
    echo $errorMsg;
    }else{

    foreach($posts as $itemNumber=>$item) {

    if( intval($itemNumber) >= intval($rssObj->itemsToDisplay) ) break;
    ?>

    <div class="rssItem">
    <div class="rssItemTitle">
    <a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>" <?php if($rssObj->launchInNewWindow) echo 'target="_blank"' ?> >
    <?php echo $item->get_title(); ?>
    </a>
    </div>
    <div class="rssItemDate"><?php echo $item->get_date($dateFormat); ?></div>
    <div class="rssItemSummary">
    <?php
    if( $rssObj->showSummary ){
    echo $textHelper->shortText( strip_tags($item->get_description()) );
    }
    ?>
    </div>
    </div>

    <?php }
    }
    ?>
    </div>[/PHP]
