I am writting a Korn Shell procedure, in which I have a string variable (name=&quot;word1 word2 word3&quot;) which consists of several words seperated by spaces. I would like to extract individual words e.g. the second word. Is there a function I could use to do that?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
