How do I get the word before a specific character in

The only way I figure I could do it would be to
crawl backwards via a
repeat loop until I get to a space. This seems
inelegant and I can
envision several situations which would trip this up
(punctuation
characters, etc.).
Is there a built in function for this?
Thanks,

Try this:
##
put wird -1 of char 1 to x of theText
##
No repeat loop - let the engine figure it out :-)
