Method

StringchopAtWord(String string, int length)
Intelligently chops a String at a word boundary (whitespace) that occurs at the specified index in the argument or before.

    return string;
char[] charArray = string.toCharArray();
int sLength = string.length();
if (length < sLength) {
    sLength = length;
for (int i = 0; i < (sLength - 1); i++) {
    if ((charArray[i] == '\r') && (charArray[i + 1] == '\n')) {
        return string.substring(0, i);
    else if (charArray[i] == '\n') {
        return string.substring(0, i);
