Anchors...

(Straight out of the help page) I think these regular expressions will be useful to me in the future:
^[^ ]+   gives the first word (2 very different uses of ^)

[^ ]+$   gives the last word ($ anchors to the end of the string)

both based allowing anything except the space character (so alternatives to the space character might be considered)

I read the help in a different light, looking for information on this question,

so thanks for that!
