Template:Remove last word

{{{1}}}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

Module:String (sandbox)

This template removes the last word of the first parameter, i.e. the last non-space token after the last space. Use |1= for the first parameter if the string may contain an equals sign (=). By default, words are delimited by spaces, but the optional parameter |sep= can set the separator to any character.

Usage

One parameter (space as separator):

{{Remove last word|string}}
{{Remove last word|1=string}}

Two parameters (user-defined character as separator):

{{Remove last word|string|sep=character}}
{{Remove last word|1=string|sep=character}}
