If I had a string:

"my birthday is tomorrow"

and a substring "my birthday is"

how could I get the next word after "my birthday is"?

you cant just subtract the strings from one another because the sentence could be longer:

e.g. "my birthday is tomorrow said bill"

and also the sentence could have different words on the front

e.g.

"and he said my birthday is tomorrow"

you can turn the string into an array of words

e.g.
the_string$="my birthday is tomorrow
local temp_array$[]=the_String.split(" ")

temp_array[0]="my"
temp_array[1]="birthday"

if that helps?
