If using VBS then the following code will do what you want:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-39745147-1">VersionArr = Split(Wscript.Arguments.Item(0),&quot;.&quot;)
WScript.Echo VersionArr(Wscript.Arguments.Item(1)-1)</code></pre>
<br />
However, you do not need the comma to separate the arguments.<br />
<br />
Therefore: &nbsp;3.2.13.0 3<br />
Will return 13. &nbsp;(i.e. only a space, no comma).
