MiddleWords ( text ; number ; 1 ) Click to copy

While FileMaker provides the LeftWords, MiddleWords and RightWords functions to extract single words and word strings, more often than not I find myself wanting one word only from a string. This custom function makes it easier to extract a single word and makes it easier to read and understand what is being done.

For example, it is easier to read and understand:
GetWord ( address ; 3 )
than:
MiddleWords ( address ; 3 ; 1 )
