  a couple changes from the post above- the_excerpt will always echo the text, you can't assign it to a var like that. you either need to buffer output or use get_the_excerpt.
  if you do it by character using substr, you'll end up with parts of words instead of only whole words..

  $string = get_the_excerpt();
  $words = explode(' ', $string);
  $string = implode(' ', array_slice($words, 0, 10)); // 10 = number of words
  echo $string;
