How to truncate UITextView contents to fit a reduced size?

Question

I\'m having real trouble getting my head around this issue.

As the title suggests, I have several UITextViews on a view in an iPhone application. I am programmatically c

Because sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode: is deprecated in iOS 7, I made a few changes:

- (NSString *)stringByDeletingWordsFromStringToFit:(CGRect)rect
                                     withInset:(CGFloat)inset
                                     usingFont:(UIFont *)font
{
    NSString *result = [self copy];
    CGSize maxSize = CGSizeMake(rect.size.width  - (inset * 2), FLT_MAX);
    if (!font) font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:[UIFont systemFontSize]];
    CGRect boundingRect = [result boundingRectWithSize:maxSize options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: font, } context:nil];
    CGSize size = boundingRect.size;
    NSRange range;

    if (rect.size.height < size.height)
        while (rect.size.height < size.height) {

            range = [result rangeOfString:@" "
                                    options:NSBackwardsSearch];

            if (range.location != NSNotFound && range.location > 0 ) {
                result = [result substringToIndex:range.location];
            } else {
                result = [result substringToIndex:result.length - 1];
            }

            if (!font) font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:[UIFont systemFontSize]];
            CGRect boundingRect = [result boundingRectWithSize:maxSize options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: font, } context:nil];
            size = boundingRect.size;
        }

    return result;

}
