How to switch data in BASIC language?

Question

I have a program about calculating gross pay, storing the last & first names and hour wages in DATA statements. 
i.e
.
10 read n$, p
.
20 print "Enter hours worked for";n$;:input h 
.
50 print "Grosspay for";n$;"is"; using "$$###.##";h*p
.
100 data "Smith Frank",6.50
.
I need to switch the first and last names so the print statements say "Enter hours worked for Frank Smith?" and "Grosspay for Frank Smith is -" Not "Enter hours worked for Smith Frank?" The last name MUST be first in the data statement. Any ideas? My teacher said it's supposed to be simple, but I can't think of it.

Use the Substring command to find the space.  Everything before the space is last name, everything after the space is first name
