Help with a delimited string
<p>I have several strings that I need to parse. The string is supposed to be delimited with a carrot character, however, if the maximum number of allowed characters in the string is reached, the carrot character is omitted. I need to find a way to deal with this.</p>

<p>Here is an example.</p>

<p>The rule is that there can be no more than a maximum of 13 characters in it. In the following string, there is an "S" where there should be a carrot character. </p>

<pre><code>MASSYBU HILLSMARY
</code></pre>

<p>This is an example of a string that has not reached the 13 character limit</p>

<pre><code>CYPRUS^TOM
</code></pre>

<p>How can I deal with strings that have reached the 13 character limit where there is no delimiter as in the first example?</p>
