I wasn't thinking about substacks (durhh). I also didn't account for the
different number of words in a card name if the card has a name vs. just an
id. So if you want a reference to the containing stack (meaning the
substack if there is one) then you'd need:
function owningStack pID
if word -5 of pID is "stack" then return word -5 to -1 of pID else return
word -2 to -1 of pID
end owningStack
For the card id:
function owningCardID pID
if word -5 of pID is "stack" then return word -9 to -1 of pID else return
word -6 to -1 of pID
end owningCardID
And for the card name:
function owningCardName pID
if word -5 of pID is "stack" then put -8 into S else put -5 into S
if word S of pID is "id" then return word S-1 to -1 of pID else return
word S to -1 of pID
end owningCardName
