Definition

Collects a substring from a formatted string and stores it in a variable.

Settings

Input

• List of strings
  The string you want to collect the substring from.
  (The string can also be taken from a variable.)
• Separator
  The character separating individual substrings within the string. For the separator, two options are available:
  • Search for the individual characters
    If multiple characters are entered as separators, each individual character is taken as a separator, independent from the other characters.
  • Search for the string
    If multiple characters are entered as separators, only the entire string is interpreted as separator.
• Index
  Determines which substring you want to collect.
  The count starts from the left at 0 (0 is the first element).
• Store result in
  A variable that collects the string.

If the specified separator does not exist the command returns the complete string.
If the index is outside of the string’s range the command returns an empty string.
