Remove the last word from a string
Is there some code like this:
var newStr = str.Substring(0, str.length-1);
That will allow you to remove the last whole word instead of one character?
Best Answer
This should do it:
var newStr = str.Replace("yourWord", "");
Edit:
var newStr : String;
var idx = str.LastIndexOf(" ");
if (idx > -1)
newStr = str.Remove(idx);
else
newStr = str;
Thanks, but I need the code to be generic so that it removes the last word no matter what the word is. Also, the word might be found more than once in a string and I wouldn't want to remove them all!
In that case i'm editing the question and then my answer so it makes more sense
Given your comment to Mike, here's a solution.
Use Remove along with LastIndexOf(" "), to get the index of the last space. We will need more information from you if finding a space isn't a good enough solution for you to find the final word.
