If im missing something this has to do with regex's im sorry, but you should be able to get that from

var %string1 = ^ $+ $gettok(%text,1,94)
var %string2 = ^ $+ $gettok(%text,2,94)
var %string3 = ^ $+ $gettok(%text,3-,94)

Im adding the first ^ since it gets eaten as the lead token seperator

Note 94 is the asc value of the ^ character
