Returns the Nth token or amount of tokens in string.
$gettok(string,N,C)
Where N is the Nth token you wish to be returned from string by delimiter C. Alternatively N can be given as 0 to return the amount of tokens in string
Examples
$gettok(Ave:IT,1,58) ;returns Ave
This returns the first token using $chr(58) as the delimiter
$gettok(Ave:IT,0,58) ;returns 2
This returns the value 2 because there is two values when delimited by $chr(58)
Note: N can be a range N1-N2, Example:
$gettok(Word1 Word2 Word3 Word4,2-3,32) ;returns Word2 Word3 From word 2 until word 3. $gettok(Word1 Word2 Word3 Word4,3-,32) ;returns Word3 Word4 From the third word until the end. $gettok(Word1 Word2 Word3 Word4,-2-,32) ;returns Word3 Word4 From the second-to-last word, until the end. $gettok(Word1 Word2 Word3 Word4,-3--2,32) ;returns Word2 Word3 From the third-to-last word, until the second-to-last word.
Note: Although it may seam resonable to use -3-4 in this situation to get the third-to-last word (Word2) until the forth word (Word4), $gettok() does not calulate it this way, you will end up with the same as -3-.
