Hi There I need some help

I am looking for a regex that would match the last space character in a string.

I am using Javascript and Classic ASP

If there is someone that could maybe point me in the right direction

I have a long string of text which I trim to 100 characters.

I would like to remove the last character to avoid a spelling mistake if the trim cuts a word due to the 100 characters limit

regex.replace(/[ ]$.*?/ig, '');

Anybody with ideas?

Thanks
