Remove words from string
Trying to come up with an expression that will remove whole words from a string. Removing characters is easy using substr, but not sure if there is a better method for removing whole words.
str = "This is just an example.";
remove = 2;
output = "This is just"

Hi Jeremy.
Here’s a quick try, but it replaces all whitespace characters with 1 space i the endresult. Also linebreaks will be gone, so it might be a too simple approach for you:
str = "This is just an example.";
remove = 2;
arr = str.split(/\s+/gi); // yields an array of words
output = arr.slice(0,-remove).join(" ");
