issue w/ prune about voca HOT 4 CLOSED

Prune doesn't allow having non-word characters (like punctuation characters) after the last word. This increases the readability of the truncated phrase.

For example, this is better in sense of truncation:

v.prune('Good day. Little Red Riding Hood', 16, '...');
// => 'Good day...'

Compared to:

v.prune('Good day. Little Red Riding Hood', 16, '...');
// => 'Good day. ...'

from voca.

thanks @panzerdp for the quick answer, really appreciated; my point is that this is not always the case as this is what's happening now:

expect(v.prune('YATTA,', 6, '')).toEqual('YATTA,');
expect(v.prune('YATTA, ', 6, '')).toEqual('YATTA');

the 1st string w/o a final empty space returns the comma, the second one w/ space doesn't; using your example:

  expect(v.prune('Good day. Little Red Riding Hood,', 12, '')).toEqual(
    'Good day'
  );
  expect(v.prune('Good day. Little Red Riding Hood,', 33, '')).toEqual(
    'Good day. Little Red Riding Hood,'
  );

the 1st string does not return the punctuation.
thanks again,

Prune is applied (including the removal of non-word chars) only when the string length is bigger than prune length. Otherwise the string is not modified, because there's nothing to remove.

oh I see @panzerdp although I still think that

v.prune('YATTA, ', 6, '')

should return

YATTA, w/ the comma

and not

YATTA

from voca.
