trim string at the end of the string

Question

Hello I want to remove the last word from my sentence in C#. Here is my query:

\"SELECT * FROM People WHERE City = @City AND County = @County AND\"
         


        

Answer 1

If the final word is always going to be "AND":

if (yourString.EndsWith(" AND"))
    yourString = yourString.Remove(yourString.Length - 4);

Or, if you need to truncate everything beyond the final space:

int index = yourString.LastIndexOf(' ');
if (index > -1)
    yourString = yourString.Remove(index);

(Although, as Donnie says, the real correct answer is to not append the superfluous final word to your string in the first place.)
