Alternative Code

Of course, there is always more than one way to skin a cat, especially when it comes to programming. Here's what Michael Brinkley had to offer that does the same thing with a lot less work:

Function truncLine(inputString,maxlength)
    If len(inputString) > maxlength Then
  inputString = left(inputString,maxlength)
  inputString = left(inputString,inStrRev(inputString," "))
    End If
    truncLine = inputString
End Function

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;
}
