ASP Script Function to cut sentences exactly by words not by characters

ASP Function ini berguna untuk memotong text content (kalimat) per kata bukan per huruf untuk mencegah kata yang tidak lengkap (incomplete word) karena terpotong di tengah kata (beberapa huruf ilang karena pemotongan per huruf).
Sangat sering kita ingin menampilkan list/daftar content beserta penjelasan singkat tentang topik yang dimaksud. tetapi kita ingin membatasi description itu tidak terlalu panjang (untuk membuat penasaran a.k.a meningkatkan pageviews & penyesuaian terhadap design), Tetapi kalau kita menggunakan String Operations Left(), Right(), Mid() Kombinasi dengan Len() terkadang pemotongan tidak tepat di kata terakhir karena kebentur spesifik length sehingga memungkinkan ada kata (lebih tepatnya kombinasi karakter) yang tidak lengkap dan tidak puny arti (meaningless).

thanks that was good.
be aware some people! when i copy & paste your script, the double quotes turn into weird characters, like beginning quote and ending quote, because of your CMS system. But no problem, i just do search & replace, it work well thank you.

so it takes your input text, splits it by space, then puts each word into an array, goes through the array and adds each word together again, making sure it is not getting over the length limit.

than you for sharing. wishes well for you!
