Returns

String

Parameters

Name	Type	Optional	Meaning
MainString	String	No	The string to be parsed
Delimiter	String	No	The field delimiter, which may be one or more characters long. If the ANY option is present, each appearance of any single character comprising Delimiter is considered a valid delimiter.
Index	Number	No	The delimited field number to return. The first field is 1. The maximum number of fields contained in MainString can be determined with the PARSECOUNT function.
NewString	String	No	The new string to set at Index position

Remarks

Restrictions

If ANY is used and specified delimiter is a multi char string, only first char of delimiter will be used in returned string.
