[[Event_Handler]] macro - Extract substring by field, fields defined by delimiter character.

Format: '''scutf(string, delimiter, field-no)'''

*''delimiter'' is a single char, possibly escaped. Optionally followed by + sign to indicate that more than one delimiter character is allowed between fields.
*''field-no'' is a integer number, counting starts from zero!
*Example of escaped delimiters : Tab = \t  Comma = \,
*Useful for parsing [[External_Data_Input]].

Examples:
 %scutf(%edi,;,0) ''extract the first field, number 0; fields separated by semicolon (Fields start at zero!)''

 %scutf(%edi, ,1) ''extract the second field, number 1; fields separated by a space''

 %scutf(%edi, +,3) ''extract field number 3; fields separated by any number of spaces''

 ''%scutf(%edi,_,3) extract field number 3; fields separated by underscore''

 ''%scutf(%edi,\t,3) extract field number 3; fields separated by TAB''

 %scutf(%edi,\,,3) ''extract field number 3; fields separated by commas''
