Returns the specified word from a text string. A "word" is defined as the part of a string that is delimited by the defined separator character. For example, if you specify a space (" ") as the separator, then a word is any series of characters preceded by and followed by a space (or the beginning or end of the string).

@Word( string ; separator ; number )

Text. The character that you want used to delimit a word in the string.

Number. A position indicating which word you want returned from string. A positive number refers to the position of the word starting from the beginning where 1 is the first word. A negative number refers to the position of the word starting from the end where -1 is the last word.

word

Text or text list. The word that holds the position specified by the number in the string; for example, if number is 3, @Word returns the third word in the string.
