You can use the string split() method to get a list of the components. Then select the bit you want by indexing the list. > and, mind if I ask, what's a YAGNI by the way? 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...
