First of all, matchText requires two arguments, a string to be searched and a regular expression to be used for the search. You may have just given us an abbreviated part of the call, but I thought I should point that out.

Not tested, but I suspect:

put fld "findwhat" into whatToFind
matchtext (stringToSearch, whatToFind)

would work fine.

Of course, matchtext (stringToSearch, fld "findwhat") might also work.

How can I get a regex to take the search expression from a field? This doesn't work matchtext (fld "findwhat")
