No, I know how it works.

Here, to better demonstrate it with YOUR code, modified to show part of a word. This gets the position of "b"
alias xt {
var %text = aaa bbb ccc ddd, %pos = 5
var %word = $gettok($left(%text,%pos),-1,32)
echo -a %word
}
/xt
That returns just "b"
You must be tired. :P
But yes, I already know about -1.
