Code

Below is the function that is used to accomplish this task:

' Copyrights (c) 2000, Martin Jansen
' This function chops the last word of a given string.
Function ChopLastWord( Line, Length )
 Dim S1, S2, I
 ChopLastWord = ""
 S1 = Left( Line, Length )
 S2 = Left( Line, Length )
 For I = Len(S1) to 1 step -1
  if Mid(S1,I,1) = " " then
   S2 = Left(S1,I)
   I = 0
  end if
 Next
 ChopLastWord = S2
End Function  
 

This function is used just like Left(), taking an input string and a length. The length is the maximum length that the result can be, but typically the result will be LESS than this length because it will chop off entire words until the full string is less than the provided length.

Title: ASP.NET Version

Comment:
I've created a .NET Version of the function (Both VB.NET as C#)

VB.NET:

Function truncLine(ByVal inputString As String, ByVal maxlength As Integer) As String
If inputString.Length > maxlength Then
inputString = inputString.Substring(0, maxlength)
inputString = inputString.Substring(0, inputString.LastIndexOf(" "))
End If
truncLine = inputString
End Function

C#

public string truncLine(string inputString, int maxlength)
{
if (inputString.Length > maxlength) {
inputString = inputString.Substring(0, maxlength);
inputString = inputString.Substring(0, inputString.LastIndexOf(" "));
}
return inputString;
}
