You can get past this by adding parentheses:
item 1 of word 2 of "this,is,a test,string" -- gives you an error
item 1 of (word 2 of "this,is,a test,string") -- gives you "test"
Likewise, if field 1 contains:
this,is,a
test,string
item 3 of fld 1 -- gives you "a" & cr & "test"
line 2 of item 3 of fld 1 -- gives you an error
line 2 of (item 3 of fld 1) -- gives you "test"
And if you really want to mess with things:
set the linedelimiter to "s"
line 2 of (item 3 of (word 4 of "this is a crazy,mixedup,test")) --
gives you "t"
