Well, like I said before
-----------------------
get the number of chars in word 1 to 4 of textString
subtract length(word 4 of textString) from it

-- now (it) will include any white space before the 4th word, eg multiple
spaces, commas, and any other non-word chars

If you want to include the first char of word 4 in the count
add 1 to it
----- thus use these 3 lines, or a compact version -----------
get the number of chars in word 1 to 4 of textString
subtract length(word 4 of textString) from it
add 1 to it
