Yes, using words is not a general approach. I was referring here to 
the case presented by the original poster which apparently operated 
on words with his content. I dare say that there is no really general 
approach that works always. Content massaging needs to be tailored 
for any given situation.

For example, for content that is already html or xml, it is often 
(but not always) handy to set the item delimiter to < and work with 
items.
