 * PARAMETERS:
 *		string, defaults to "Get ( ApplicationVersion )" function.
 *
 *
 * RETURNS:
 *		Extracts Patch and Minor application version numbers (as string) by filtering out all non-numeric characters from version string and truncating version integer from version float.
 *		Normalizes various non-normal methods of semantic versioning ( https://semver.org ), including use of non-standard separators such as underscore "_", hyphen "-", and comma ","
 *
 *		Examples: 
 *
 *		GetMinorVersion ( "" ) returns ".0.3" when Get ( ApplicationVersion ) = "ProAdvanced 17.0.3"
 *
 *		GetMinorVersion ( Get ( HostApplicationVersion )  ) returns ".0.4" when Get ( HostApplicationVersion ) = "Server 16.0.4"
 *
 *		GetMinorVersion ( $$MODULE.VERSION ) returns ".0.1" when $$MODULE.VERSION = "Version 1.0.1"
 *
 *		GetMinorVersion ( Get ( WindowName ) ) returns ".0.3" when window name = "My_App_1_0_3"
 *
 *		GetMinorVersion ( GetSystemPlatformVersion ) returns ".14.2" when GetSystemPlatformVersion = "macOS 10.14.2"
 *
 *		GetMinorVersion ( Get ( FileName ) ) returns ".0.3.5" when  Get ( FileName )  = "My_App_0-0-3-5"
 *
 *		GetMinorVersion ( Get ( FileName ) ) returns ".1.3.5" when  Get ( FileName )  = "My-App-2,1,3,5"
 *
 *		Returns "N/A" as default
 *
 * DEPENDENCIES:
 * 		None
 *
 *
 * KNOWN ISSUES:
 * 		May truncate separators between Patch and Minor versions ( i.e. ".135" ) when parameter string contains multiple concatenated non-mormal symbols ( i.e. "0_1_3_,5 ")
 *
 * NOTES:
 * 		None
