If the user isn't going to select the word, you can do this, if not, just tweak it a little bit

vb.net Code:
  1. Public Sub DeleteWords()
  2.         Dim sentence As String = "I'm hot Croatia and I'm bored as hell"
  3.         Dim words As String() = sentence.Split(New Char() {" "c})
  4.         Dim check As Integer = 0
  5.  
  6.         For i As Integer = 0 To words.Count - 1
  7.             If words(i) = "Croatia" Then
  8.                 check = i - 1
  9.             End If
  10.         Next
  11.         For c As Integer = 0 To check
  12.             MsgBox(words(c) & " ")
  13.         Next
  14.     End Sub

Hope it helps
