Can separate the text in a sentence????

[starrytwinkle]

if i have something like this :

123 --/-- 456

isit possible to have codes to separate them into 123 and 456 without the one in between?
eg. a=123, b=456
???

Thank You.

I did something like this to separate them:

on beginSprite me

wordList1 = []
wordList2 = []

myText = sprite(me.spriteNum).member.text

wordCount = sprite(me.spriteNum).member.char.count

repeat with i = 1 to (wordCount - 8)
wordList1.append(myText.char)
end repeat

repeat with i = 9 to wordCount
wordList2.append(myText.char)
end repeat

end

Forgot to add this script below:
repeat with i in wordList2
a = a&i
end repeat
put a
-- "456"
