Javascript: truncate a text along punctuation marks

truncate.js

/*
  assume you want to truncate a longer text to a certain amount of characters but you don't want to stop at
  word boundaries. Instead lets cut the text at sentence ending punctuation marks like ! ? .
*/

function pos(str, char) {
    let pos = 0
    const ret = []
    while ( (pos = str.indexOf(char, pos + 1)) != -1) {
        ret.push(pos)
    }
    return ret
}

function truncate(str, len) {
    if (str.length < len)
        return str

    const allPos = [  ...pos(str, '!'), ...pos(str, '.'), ...pos(str, '?')].sort( (a,b) => a-b )
    if (allPos.length === 0) {
        return str.substr(0, len)
    }

    for(let i = 0; i < allPos.length; i++) {
        if (allPos[i] > len) {
            return str.substr(0, allPos[i-1] + 1)
