Hi,

Use a combination of crosstable (to get all strings into one field) and substring/iterno() to pick out the individual words.

Load rowno() as rowid, * inline [
field1, field2
two dog dog in the car two car, dog on the box
]
;

data2:
crosstable (field_source,field_data) Load * resident data;

data3:
Load
rowid,
field_source,
dual(subfield(field_data,' ',iterno()),rowno()) as field_word
resident data2
while iterno()<=SubStringCount(field_data,' ')+1;

drop table data2;

Scripts handles these kind of re-occurrence .

You can use String functions and previous function to do this with a loop running and  checking the limit.

But in your case the strings are not fixed have any idea how are you going to limit it .

What about your real time values can they have more variations.
