DELWORD




 >>---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'
