Hello.
I am trying to do a system that saves as a variable the string in between two characters, like the : I am in a rush.
Thanks

Is this what you want ?

[i6iesma_EsMa]

Not exactly.
I will like to divide the string in between the two : (or any character)

OK (a completely different question to the one you asked) like this:

This gives you a list with the elements split by <space>:<space>

You can then return an element like this:

Ok, thanks
