This documentation is transcluded from Template:Remove last word/doc.

Shortcut: Template:Lastw

This template returns 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}}

Examples

• {{Remove last word|}} →
• {{Remove last word|Select last word}} → Select last
• {{Remove last word|Select last}} → Select
• {{Remove last word|Select}} → Select
• {{Remove last word|Select, last word|sep=,}} → Select
• {{Remove last word|Foo-bar|sep=-}} → Foo
• {{Remove last word|1=len = a+b|sep==}} → len
