Please,
how do I get "New Lap Record this Sunday.Must see.flv" out of "Racing.com.New Lap Record this Sunday.Must see.flv"?
Related wish:
- Gettoken should be given a way to return everything that's ahead of it regardless of being other tokens or not.

Thanks but this will be limited to know separators, right?
I may think on a solution for this but thanks for trying, serendipity.

As always. You have to tell the program what you want.
Which is the common pattern to split? Every time the first period/hyphen/space/....? At an specific word? Specific length/pos?
.

Sorry to say: I don't exactly understand the rules for what you want
I'd guess you want to see the source string as "."-delimited tokens, and want to get token 3 to 5? Or token 3 up to the end?
Months ago I had a request for this: expand gettoken()
(or subtoken() or something like that) to allow specification of the number of tokens to return - analog to substr(). Don wasn't interested...
