Thank you for the definitions.

this could do (partly):

getprop uRuggedID
   get the long id of the target
   -- if word 1 of it is "card" then return word 1 to 3 of it
   if word 1 of it is among the words of "card stack" then return it
   if "card" is among the words of it then
     put num of words in char 1 to offset("of card id",it) + 1 of it  
into tStart
     return (word 1 to 3 of it && word tStart to tStart + 3 of it)
   end if
   return word 1 to 3 of it ###
end uRuggedID

getprop uRuggedLongID
   get the long id of the target
   if word 1 of it is among the words of "card stack" then return it
   if "card" is among the words of it then
     put num of words in char 1 to offset("of card id",it) + 1 of it  
into tStart
     return (word 1 to 3 of it && word tStart to -1 of it)
   end if
   return (word 1 to 3 of it && word -3 to -1 of it) ### !!!
end uRuggedLongID

###:  I'm not sure about the necessity of the last return statements  
in the getprop handlers.
          (I leave them out)
!!!:     the last return statement of the uRuggedLongID still needs  
to be adapted if it must stay in,
but I cannot imagine on what kind of long id it would be applicable.  
So please jump in if you know.
