Oops! Now I see that the original poster's sample assignment was not as simple as I had shown, because he
had "B C" where I had "B" (multiple quoted words being treated as a single token, vs. my idea of a single word).
This being the case, my suggestion of changing split's delimiters will obviously not work, so "nevermind"! 8-}
