If by 'succinct elements' you mean words separated by spaces, the
split function will do the work.
But if you're working on a text, the words will often be separated
by dots, coma, and other delimiters. You would need to run the
split function too many times to separate sentences (delimited with
dots) into sub sentences (delimited by comas) and then into words
(delimited by spaces). I couldn't find any plug-in to get the words
out of a text in a straightforward and easy way. (Personal note :
I'm interrested in lexicography (statistics applied to texts), if
anyone shares the same interest, please let me know if you know any
RB plug-ins or any application (free and running on a Mac) for that
kind of work.)
Applescript can break text into words very nicely
