**Example**

In this example, we are passing the required parameters to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object.

Where,

*str* = A-B-C-D-E

*delimiter* = -

*tokenIndex* = 2

Right-click on the function transformation object and select *Preview Output.* You can see that Astera Data Stack has returned the string value, indicating the token in index position 2.
