Another idea is to use regular expressions and their match data:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(let ((str "this that"))
(and (string-match "\\([^[:space:]]+\\)[[:space:]]?" str)
(match-string 1 str)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
