Geoff, firstly, let's not confuse intelligence with knowledge. I
believe intellect is one's capacity to learn, while knowledge, which I
believe you are eluding to, is simply one's existing level of
understanding about a particular item.
In terms of your issue: I am unsure if StringSegment can be used for
delimiters with multiple characters, but I am reasonably certain that
you could replace any multiple character delimiters with your own
single character delimiter using StringReplaceSubStrings. You could
then use StringSegment with the output.
Hope this helps,
Chad
