This is a Great sub I found. This was super helpful and I hope it will be to you as well.

This is the method that calls the sub.

String xval = getValue(myString, ':', 0);

This is The sub!

String getValue(String data, char separator, int index)
{
  int found = 0;
  int strIndex[] = {
    0, -1  };
  int maxIndex = data.length()-1;
  for(int i=0; i<=maxIndex && found<=index; i++){
    if(data.charAt(i)==separator || i==maxIndex){
      found++;
      strIndex[0] = strIndex[1]+1;
      strIndex[1] = (i == maxIndex) ? i+1 : i;
    }
  }
  return found>index ? data.substring(strIndex[0], strIndex[1]) : "";
}
