Extracts the nth word counting from the beginning (positive index) or from
the end (negative index) considering given delimiters from an input string.
Indexes start at 1 or -1 and delimiters are a string formatted list of chars.
- Delimiters at the beginning or end of the input string are ignored.
+ Empty words are skipped. This means that delimiters at the start or end of
+ the input string are ignored and consecutive delimiters within the input
+ string are considered to be a single delimiter.
Optionally you can specify of words to extract (default: 1).
Value of 0 indicates extraction of all remaining words.
