awk – a print field question

[Johnny Rosenberg]

Let's say that I have a string with an unknown number of spaces. How
can I assign all of them, except the two first ones to a variable?

For example:
x="This is an example of a sentence but you don't know how many words there is"

Now I want y to be "This is” and z to be "an example of a sentence but
you don't know how many words there is" using awk, but I can not
figure out how.

Any ideas?


Kind regards
