Baseline
As at baseline
Stream.captureWord(targetAttributeStr)
Stream.captureWord
Finds and stores the next word in the string in the specified targetAttributeStr, a quoted name of an attribute, and returns the string that follows this word. Fails if the string is empty or entirely white space.
What constitutes a word
If the targetAttributeStr is omitted the Stream is advanced to the end so processing ceases.
The attribute given for targetAttributeStr can be a quoted literal string, e.g. ("Text") for $Text. Or it can be an unquoted variable/loopVariable, e.g. (vString) for a variable 'vString'.
