Function to break apart a Long Name?

[David Burgun]

Hi,

This assumes that the control I am processing is actually loaded into 
the Rev Environment which is isn't in this case. I am processing a 
text file that contains the long names of controls that were exported 
from a stack. I don't really want to load the stack and then dip into 
the control, for a number of reasons but the biggest one is that the 
stack may not be at the location it was at when the Text file was 
generated.

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
