Ever wanted a method that can truncate a string, but only on a word boundary? This method works like Substring() but doesn't snip a string in the middle of a word, i.e. it only truncates the string on a word boundary. Useful for producing a summary from long text, or when limiting the length of an input field.

(Ruby) Find n from the index of the nth occurrence of a substring - jatkins

Sun, 27 Jun 2010 03:51:13 GMT

Public domain. Returns n from the nth occurrence (`occurrence_index`) of `substring` in `var`, or -1 if `var` does not contain `substring` or `occurrence_index` exceeds the length of `var`. Does not account for overlapping substrings (one solution is to delimit substrings, such as with a space, so you can pass " or " as `substring` to find occurrences of "or" as a word). See also [Find the nth occurrence of a substring](http://snipplr.com/view/36365/find-the-nth-occurrence-of-a-substring/).
