Folks, What is the most efficient way to test whether a variable containing a string such as “my test phrase” contains one of several variable substrings, such as “est” OR “phr” OR... ? So far I’ve tried (without luck) approaches that simplify into... put “my test phrase” into myTestPhrase put

Re: Searching for a word when it's more than one word

Very interesting Steve, your use case is actually very close to what I’m trying to achieve, which is to identify keywords and phrases within a corpus of text - think prioritised ’tag cloud’ metadata. My original plan (as a non-programmer) was to identify the most popular unique words within

Thanks Alex, HH & Jim for all the help & ideas. Just to close out the thread with a solution for future reference, the code below now extracts from a text source a list of unique words, cleaned up against a noise-word list, with word frequency, word & and a comma-delimited string of the word
