parsing a string and storing that string in a dynamically named variable

[jqcf]

I have a string that looks like this: title.string1-color.string2-size.string3
I'd like to put string2 in a variable called color.
Can I use rereplace to do this? Or is there some other function that would do this better?

list functions might work.

This will do it!
