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 “*est*” & cr & “*phr*” into tSubstrings
if myTestPhrase is among the lines of tSubstrings then answer “true”
repeat for each line L in tSubstrings
if myTestPhrase contains L then answer “true”
end repeat
Both seem to be failing - do I have the wrong syntax or approach to the problem?
TIA
Keith
