Position values

Is there a way of reading the position in seperate parts of an object
if i say
echo(1000.position);
I'll get something like
25 0 38
I know that 25 stands for the X value, is there a way of getting it to return only one of the X Y Z values. instead of all 3?
eg position.x
so that i would get 25 instead of all the values.

GetPosition()/getTransform() are the two script/console methods you are looking for, and Westy demonstrates how to use getWord to get just one of the coordinates above.

%posX = getWord(%pos,0);
%posY = getWord(%pos,1);
%posZ = getWord(%pos,2);
