My string contains: The dog walked across the street.

How can I parse this string and only return walked across ..

Take only words between dog and street.
 
The words between dog and street will actually be "walked across the"

Use instr(sentence,word) to get the first split position.


Use instrrev(sentence,word) + len(word) to get the end split position.


mid(sentence,start,end)

Or you could make it into a useful "slice" function.
