Good Morning All,

I'm wondering if anyone else has done this and is willing to share.  I'm
working on a project using V8 Turbo.  I'm going to be counting the number of
words in a description text string for over 500,000 rows of data and I need
to know the relative "word" position of words in the string.  For example;
if the string is 'This is a test string to demonstrate what I need to do.',
it has 12 words and the word 'string' is the 5th word and the word
'demonstrate' is the 7th word.

I know I can use the ItemCnt function to count the number of words, by first
changing the delimiter to a space.  I'm looking for a slick way to find a
words relative position by word count.

If anyone has any suggestions or insight I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Paul Buckley
