If i understand your question....
it seems you just forgot to put the &, which must appear somewhere
after all.

example = {1, 5, 7, 9} (* list of parts *)
arg = {w, e, r, t, y, u, i, o, p} (*an argument with 9 parts*)
Table[#[[example[[ii]]]], {ii, 1, Length[example]}] &[arg]

will give you

{w, y, i, p}

that is: a list of the first, fifth, seventh and ninth part of the
argument
