Re: st: Another question regarding string variables

HI Steve
Word will give me the second word
But What I am trying to get is the first word and rest of the string
as second variable.
For ex: John Howard R --> John & (Howard R ) as two string AND not as
John & Howard & R separately as three string
Thanks
MIke
