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
$gettok(Word1 Word2 Word3 Word4,-2-1,32)  ;returns Word3 Word4

The second example would return the second token from the end until one token from the end.
