───DELWORD(string,n ─┬───────────┬─)────── └──,length──┘
DELWORD deletes the substring of string that starts at the n th word. The length option refers to the number of blank-delimited words. If length is omitted, it defaults to be the remaining words in string. n must be a positive whole number. If n is greater than the number of words in string, string is returned unchanged. The string deleted includes any blanks following the final word involved.
Here are some examples:
DELWORD('Now is the time',2,2) -> 'Now time' DELWORD('Now is the time ',3) -> 'Now is ' DELWORD('Now is the time',5) -> 'Now is the time'
