Provide a couple of examples and the results you'd want from those examples. Make sure to include at least one example that has an even number of words.

1) SUBSTR() using -1 for position.
2) Middle is not always clear, whatbif there's a even no of words? Besides that, you could use a combination of COUNTW and SCAN functions.
