C-h f is your friend.  It tells you that (nth N LIST) returns the Nth
element of LIST (starting counting from zero).

In Emacs Lisp there is no difference between numbers and characters,
so the debugger helpfully displays the character for a number and
vice versa.

string-match does regular expression matching, and match-string can
be used after string-match to find out which part of the string
matched the regular expression.
