$Lstr Word

<section begin="desc" />Return a word from a long string<section end="desc" />

Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent for the $Lstr_Word function is to be entered.

This function takes a longstring input and a word number and returns a longstring containing a single word. A null string is returned if the word count in the input longstring is less than the word number.

The $Lstr_Word function accepts three arguments and returns a longstring result.

The first argument is an arbitrary longstring. This is a required argument.

The second argument is the number of the desired word. The first word in the input longstring is word 1.

The third argument is a string containing from 1 to 255 characters which are the delimiters for the longstring. This is an optional argument and defaults to a blank.

Syntax

<section begin="syntax" /> %RESULT = $Lstr_Word(longstring, n, delims) <section end="syntax" />

$Lstr_Word function

%RESULT is the :hp1.n:ehp1.th word in the longstring.

For example

%RES = $Lstr_Word('She sells sea-shells by the sea shore', 7)

sets %RES to "shore.&CQ. and

%RES = $Lstr_Word('She sells sea-shells by the sea shore', 7, '- ')

sets %RES to "sea&CQ.
