Default Formula help

I am trying to figure out this formula:

=MID(SUBSTITUTE(Raw_Data!$A$5," ","^",LEN(Raw_Data!$A$5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Raw_Data!$A$5," ",""))),FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(Raw_Data!$A$5," ","^",LEN(Raw_Data!$A$5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Raw_Data!$A$5," ",""))))+1,256)

I am not clear on use of the carat (^). This extracts a name from amongst text, but seems overly complicated.
