Torque scripting question

I am curious about the ability of the scripting system to parse through strings of data. I haven't found anything that says if this is possible and if so, how to do it. And the regular tutorials I've seen so far don't cover anything like this.
Anybody have a pointer to a useful tutorial?

Is there any write up on the syntax for these functions anywhere?

If you open then console and type the command ie: getWord(); it will return some info on the command.

Excellent. You would think with all the time I have spent with this system I would know a lot more about it than I do... Still discovering things every time I turn around.
