Question

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?

Answer 1

0

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

LastIndexOf(" "); is just what I was looking for! Thanks

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.
