Dave,
Ah! Those mighty regular expressions. Soooom day I'll have to study up on them.
Yes that works very nicely.
The other method (one that I understand ;) ) now boils down to this:
on mouseUp
put field 1 into tText
put containsWord("time", tText)
end mouseUp
function containsWord tWord, tList
replace quote with "" in tList
replace "." with "" in tList
return tWord is among the tokens of tList
end containsWord
