Sample input:

ScriptParameter = "A|B|C"

GetScriptParameter(2)

Sample output:

Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Let(
[
    x = MiddleValues ( Substitute ( Get ( ScriptParameter ) ; "|" ; "¶" ) ; Number ; 1 );
    y = Left(x; Length(x)-1)
];

    Case(PatternCount ( Get ( ScriptParameter ) ; "|" ); 
        y;
        Get ( ScriptParameter )
    )
)

No longer use FileMakers Get(ScriptParameter) function - use this variation which allows you to parse multiple parameters in stead of just one.
