Yes, there is a function in FoxTools. However, it has the problem of ignoring consecutive delimiters, that is, blank parameters.

A string like: Par1;;Par3, where the second parameter is omitted, would give you "Par3" for the second "word". The reason is that when you count real words, consecutive spaces should be ignored.

I recommend copying your string to an array with alines(). Then, loop through the array.

Saludos, Hilmar.
