You can use the string split() method to get a list of the
components. Then select the bit you want by indexing the list.

Its from the XP programming camp - You Aren't Going to Need It
Basically don't build in fancy features unless you know you need
them, coz most often you won't...

It works up to a point, but if you know you *will* need them
its a lot easier to build the structure up front than to try
to bolt it on later!
