You would need to use Regex to capture the last word in a string, something like

var regex = /\w+$/
var test = 'This is a test string';
var match = test.match(regex)
gs.info(match)

@Zach Koch 

this script is not working :

var regex = /\w+$/;

var test = current.short_description;

var match = test.match(regex);

gs.addInfoMessage(match);

Thanks and Regards,

You can create a simple function for this:

function getLastWord(str) {
  // Trim any whitespace from the ends of the string
  str = str.trim();

  // Split the string into an array of words
  var words = str.split(/\s+/);

  // Return the last word
  return words[words.length - 1];
}

// Example usage:
var sentence = "Hello, this is a sample sentence.";
getLastWord(sentence);

This script is not working :

var gr = current.short_description;

function getLastWord(gr) {

  // Trim any whitespace from the ends of the string

  str = str.trim();

  // Split the string into an array of words

  var words = str.split(/\s+/);

  // Return the last word

  gs.addInfoMessage( words[words.length - 1]);

}

getLastWord();
