nested ListWords?

numero = 50555
interpreted = N
texte = I have a list of information that contains elements composed of three sets of characters separated by -. I want to extract the three sets of substrings from each element in turn. I thought I might be able to use a ListWords context nested inside another, but [word] in the inner context returns the [word] from the outer one. I can get around this by using ListPath after converting - to /, but this seems inelegant. Does someone have a better solution or other insights?Is it worth requesting a split feature, as in [split string=[some-bits-here-and-there]&delimiter=-&index=4]?Code that doesn't work (I tried Switch & Case statements, too):[text]lst=A1-9-dh1,A2-9-dh2,A3-9-dh3[/text][listwords words=[lst]&delimiters=,] [text]thisword=[word][/text]
[listwords words=[thisword]&delimiter=-] [if ([index]=1)] [then] [text]well=[thisword][/text] well=[well]
[/then] [/if] [if ([index]=2)] [then] [text]orderNum=[word][/text] orderNum = [orderNum]
[/then] [/if] [if ([index]=3)] [then] [text]sampleName=[word][/text] SN = [sampleName]
