Description
GETWORDNUM() returns the word at the specified position <expN> in the string <expC1>. By default, words are assumed to be separated by spaces, tabs, line feeds or carriage returns. Alternative delimiting characters can be specified in <expC2>. If more than one delimiting character is included in <expC2>, each is counted as a delimiter, not the complete string as a single delimiter. If no word exists at position <expN>, GETWORDNUM() returns an empty string.
Example
cString = "AAA aaa, BBB bbb, CCC ccc. DDD ddd." ? getwordnum(cString,2) // 'aaa,' ? getwordnum(cString,2, ",") // ' BBB bbb' ? getwordnum(cString,2, ".") // ' DDD ddd' ? getwordnum(cString,3, ",.") // ' CCC ccc'
