Extract after and between spaces in a string

1. If I want to extract "in a string" so any string after the 5th space.
2. If I want to extract "between spaces" so any string between the 3rd space and 5th space.

Help is appreciated.

Thank you!

The Oracle command INSTR (instring) will locate the position of a space within a string.
The Oracle command SUBSTR (substring) will extract the portion of a string within a larger string.

So, use INSTR to locate the 3rd and 5th spaces. Use SUBSTR to get your portions of the string.
