GETWORDNUM( ) Function

Returns a specified word from a string.

GETWORDNUM(cString, nIndex[, cDelimiters])

Parameters

  • cString
    Specifies the string to be evaluated
  • nIndex
    Specifies the index position of the word to be returned. For example, if nIndex is 3, GetWordNum( ) returns the third word (if cString contains three or more words).
  • cDelimiters
    Optional. Specifies one or more optional characters used to separate words in cString. The default delimiters are space, tab, carriage return, and line feed. Note that GetWordNum( ) uses each of the characters in cDelimiters as individual delimiters, not the entire string as a single delimiter.

Return Value

Character

Remarks

Returns the word at the position specified by nIndex in the target string, cString. If cString contains fewer than nIndex words, GetWordNum( ) returns an empty string.
