How to Parse a string in a rule condition

I have the need to take a string that is used as a Display Name for a database instance in Foglight for SQL Server and parse it.  For instance, the Display name might be something like C-Tier1-DatabaseInstance.   I am building a rule where I have the need to split the string in separate variables to build conditional statements.  What is the syntax to do something like this?

    Thanks for the tip on how to test the script. I had it set up as a script, just couldn't figure out how to dynamically gather the name. Now I am trying to take this script and put it into a rule condition. Are the variables that I defined above like portfolio, tier, priority, etc. available to the rest of the rule when the check of the rule is performed? Can I use these values to pass the information into an snmp trap or to set up message in the actions that I can email that reads something like ...The backup job on <instance> failed. Please notify the <Portfolio> team of the <priority> failure.
