Can true and false be converted into their numeric equivalents
(1/0)?

And I bet Scott was really looking for something else.
To which I respond true.
I assumed
I like this one:
itemoffset(tf,false,true)-1
Although
wordOffset(string,false true)-1
...works better in my situation since I'm dealing with the entire word
and there's no need to initialize matches, etc.
Thanks again.

Hey, while we're at it:
on convertTF @tf
put the wholeMatches into saveMatches
set the wholeMatches to true
get (itemOffset(tf, false,true))
if (it 0) then put it into tf
set the wholeMatches to saveMatches
end convertTF
This will actually change the value of the variable
My entry:
function tf bool
return charToNum(char 3 of bool) bitAnd 1
end tf

I like this!
But why abs()?
If this doesn't need abs(), I think you might have the winning
entry, Ken!
function ConvertTF what
return 5-length(what)
end
