Chunk order must be small to large

[Jim Bufalini]

Hi Craig,

Personally, I don't consider this as a bug. It's just that obviously the Rev
parser considers *word* to be a smaller chunk than *item*. So, even without
parentheses *get word 1 of item 1 of line 1 of "aaa,bbb"* works fine and the
error message, if you change the order, is indicative of this parsing order.


And this is logical as, a. You can set itemDelimiter and lineDelimiter but
not the word delimiter (smallest chunk, which word boundary has undergone a
change recently in Rev 3.0), b. When parsing text, words are generally
smaller chunks than phrases, which are usually delimited with commas, c. As
has been pointed out, you can override this parsing order using parenthesis,
and lastly d. All that's needed here is *item 1 of "aaa,bbb"* ;-)

Aloha from Hawaii,

Jim Bufalini
