I do want to match only whole items, so as to avoid false positives (i.e. item "alex1" should not match "alex123")
lineOffset will give me the line number - but there's no way to say "match whole items only"
itemOffset will find the right instance (given wholeMatches set to true), but it gives me item number, not line number
matchChunk will find it for me - but gives character positions, not line number
I'm hoping there's some way to inveigle one of the 'offset' functions to do this.
The docs say wholeMatches works with lineOffset, so if it doesn't, you should bugzilla that as either a bug or a docs error.
wholeMatches does just what it says it will - match only if the string matches the whole line.
I'm looking for a way to match whole items - but get line numbers as a result. Jacqueline gave me the perfect way, using
get the number of lines in item 1 to itemOffset(tString, tData) in tData
