Way to cut/sub a string? This should be simple...

[mccrafter1212]

Let's assume I have this code:

set {specialString} to "This is a special string"

How can I get the last word in that string and set that to a variable?

There is some methode. For easy way:

set {_S::*} to {specialString} split at " "
set {_s} to size of {_S::*}
send "This is last word: %{_s::%{_s}%}%"

Or, use this:

set {_last-word} to subtext of {specialString} from (last index of " " in {specialString} + 1) to {specialString}'s length

set {_S::*} to {specialString} split at " "
set {_s} to size of {_S::*}
send "This is last word: %{_s::%{_s}%}%"

If using this method its much easier just to do

set {_s} to last element out of split {_string} at " "
