Remove last word from string - (Moved)

[Tony007]

Hello,

please I need your help. I have a sentence and I want to remove the last word. How can I do that?
I've already started a script.

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>


$Sentence = "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday"

$NewSentence = ;Delete last Word from String

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $NewSentence) ;Result should be "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday"

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance

You should be able to use the StringInStr function with an occurrence of -1 for find the last space in the original string. With that number, you can then use StringLeft() or StringTrimRight() to remove the last word.

I didn't bother checking, but I imagine there are already some examples on the forum that would show how to do this, perhaps with a single call to StringRegExpReplace. Did you try using the forum search feature?

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Global $Sentence = "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday"
Global $NewSentence = StringLeft($Sentence, StringInStr($Sentence, " ", 0, -1)-1)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", '>' & $NewSentence & '<') ;Result should be "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday"

...and that's why I posted. You showed initiative. ( and SciTE was already open )
It takes time.

@Tony007

This function should do what you asking for, as well as the above script that @argumentum kindly posted:

Func _RTrimWord($strString)
    Return StringRegExpReplace($strString, '\s*\S+$', '')
EndFunc

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:
