First(delim:Str, list:Str):Str

Split string, return first part.

Assuming that list is a string containing multiple fields, separated by delim, this function returns the first field. For example,

  First(",", "cln,-57,Clone a ship")

returns "cln". If the string does not contain the delimiter, it is returned as-is:

  First(",", "huh?")

returns "huh?".

Note that, by default, substring search is case-insensitive. Use StrCase to search case-sensitive.

If any parameter is EMPTY, this function returns EMPTY.
