Synopsis: $word( ) $notw( ) Technical: The $word() function returns the single word in the given list that has the given index in the list, counting from 0 (zero). Its counterpart, $notw(), does exactly the opposite, returning the entire string, minus the indexed word (again counting from 0). Practical: These functions are useful when you need to get (or hide) whatever word is in a particular position in a string of words. It's mostly useful when you know that you always (or never) want the Xth word in the list, regardless of what it is. Returns: word: indexed word notw: string without indexed word Examples: $word(2 foo bar blah) returns "blah" $word(4 foo bar blah) returns nothing $word(-1 foo bar blah) returns nothing $notw(2 foo bar blah) returns "foo bar" $notw(4 foo bar blah) returns "foo bar blah" $notw(-1 foo bar blah) returns "foo bar blah" See Also: leftw(6); restw(6); rightw(6)
