# Entry

Returns the nth item from a list, where you choose the separator. The first item is 1. If there is no such item, the result is an empty string.

| Expression      | Databox value            | Result   |
| --------------- | ------------------------ | -------- |
| `Entry(2, ";")` | `line1; line2; line3`    | `line2`  |
| `Entry(3, "/")` | `07/11/2023`             | `2023`   |
| `Entry(3, ",")` | `item 1, item 2, item 3` | `item 3` |

The separator is not trimmed from what it returns — `line1; line2` split on `;` gives `line2`, with its leading space. Wrap it in [Trim](/reference/expression-reference/text-expressions/trim.md) when that matters.

This differs from [CSV](/reference/expression-reference/text-expressions/csv.md) only in that you can choose the separator.
