Hi

I have the following string:

'Corporate Analysis Africa February 2009'

And I want to truncate from the right so I get left with:

'Corporate Analysis Africa'

Does any one know how to write a regex statement to say truncate from the right on the 2nd space...

Thanks

Tim.
 
In regex (with some nuance chosen in the interpretation of the requirement), it can be this (in c#).
[tt]
string pattern=@"^.*?(?=\x20+[^\x20]+\x20+[^\x20]+\x20*$)";
//result is, for instance, returned by
// Regex.Matches(s,pattern)[0].ToString();
//with s the string to "match" against[/tt]
