TrimEnd

Hi,

I have this string:
SELECT * FROM image_descr WHERE keywords LIKE '% linda%' AND keywords LIKE '%2007%' AND keywords LIKE '%

I would like to trim the end so that the last part gets trimmed away:
AND keywords LIKE '%

I've tried the following:
Dim strParse As String = strSearch.TrimEnd("%", "'", "LIKE", "keywords", "AND")

Unforunately it only trims the last part like this:
SELECT * FROM image_descr WHERE keywords LIKE '% linda%' AND keywords LIKE '%2007%' AND keywords LIKE

How can I get it to trim away the rest?

Thanks for help!

string s = @"SELECT * FROM image_descr WHERE keywords LIKE '% linda%' AND keywords LIKE '%2007%' AND keywords LIKE '%";

            int i = s.LastIndexOf("AND");
            string x = s.Substring(0, i);

            MessageBox.Show(x);
