It’s pretty easy to do this kind of thing with some utility handlers. I have a collection of them to enable me to process text in various ways, including:

getItem(pContainer, pIndex, pDelim)
getNestedItem()
getColumns(pData, pColNbrs, pDelim)
deleteColumns(pData, pColNbrs, pDelim)
getGridCell()
replaceItem pList, pItemNbr, pNewItem, pDelim

etc. This allows text processing (which I do a lot of) completely within LC and turns script-it-anew-each-time chunks of code into one-liner calls. Most of these are available in the Master Library, I believe. Or email me if you’re interested.
