You could use FoxTools Word() and WordNum() functions (I'm pretty sure that their names). They tell you how many words are in a string, and gives you the word you ask for (for example, you want the first, second, or third word). I believe they accept delimiters, otherwise you'll need to convert all the commas to spaces.
