No, I know how it works. wink

Here, to better demonstrate it with YOUR code, modified to show part of a word. This gets the position of "b"

Code:
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.
