[Lazarus] use of function ExtractWord

[John Landmesser]

Hi,

Example:

given a string:

str := '2015-09-14 14:46:50  downloadrate  (813 KB/s)'

if i want to get the first word ( worddelim is space ) i use:

Result := ExtractWord(1 ,str,['  ']);

Result is '2015-09-14'

That's clear :-))

But!

If i want to extract '(813 KB/s)', i have to extract the SECOND word!!

Result := ExtractWord(2 ,str,['( ', ')']);

Result is '813 KB/s'

My question:

Why do i have to extract the SECOND word? The word inside () occurs just 
once!

Delphi 5 delivers the same Result so i'm sure i misunderstand something?!!

lhelp tells me:

Explanations are welcome.

Thanks!!
