put after

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

This is exactly what I'd expect as 'item' uses a delimiter. If you had
'space' as the delimiter you could then use:

set the itemdel to space; put "test" into tString; put "test3" into item 3
of tString; put tString
result: test  test3
(with 2 spaces between the two words)

now:
put the number of words in tString
result: 2

And this is still correct. Look at the definitions of item, word,

I would want LC to put "test3" directly after "test" even if I did for some
bizarre reason decide to put it after word 63556 of tString as this would
be expected behavior. I would not want it to throw back an error or place
several spaces between the two words.
