Well you can check this yourself smile
Assuming $4 is the word "17/male", type:
  • //echo -a Age: $gettok(17/male,1,47)
    //echo -a Sex: $gettok(17/male,2,47)
Those $gettok's treat the string as if it's separated by / - ASCII number 47 - and return either the first (1) or second (2) part of that string. Read more on tokens at Helpdesk's website.
