For example, given "This is a sentence," using -1 can get the last word "sentence." Using [1 3] can get "This is a," but since the string's length varies each time, the positions are not fixed. Is there a way to directly get all parts of the string except for the last segment?</SPAN></DIV> <PRE><CODE class=" language-jsl">Names Default To Here( 1 ); Word( -1, "This is a sentence" ); Word( [1 3], "This is a sentence" );</CODE></PRE> Wed, 22 Oct 2025 08:01:06 GMT https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-to-obtain-all-parts-of-a-string-except-for-the-last-segment/m-p/909037#M106767 BabyDoragon 2025-10-22T08:01:06Z https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-to-obtain-all-parts-of-a-string-except-for-the-last-segment/m-p/909047#M106768 <P>Negative indexing</P> <PRE><CODE class=" language-jsl">Word([1 -2], "This is a sentence");</CODE></PRE> Wed, 22 Oct 2025 08:02:52 GMT https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-to-obtain-all-parts-of-a-string-except-for-the-last-segment/m-p/909047#M106768 jthi 2025-10-22T08:02:52Z
