Thank you Micha & Vince, this is kinda the theory that I hope to
figure out. I do understand there is a explode command, but there
isn't sufficient examples out there (or at least I have not found one
yet) related to answer what I would like.

The code example kindly posted by Vince is helpful to understand-see
the explode() command unravel the string, but it doesn't solve the
question I proposed. :( I want to be able to only print part of that
string on demand (5th slot for example).... am I getting close? ;)
