Paul, Use the new "RWP" string manipulation function in R:BASE! Syntax: (RWP('text string','actualword')) RWP = Relative Word Position Here's how: 01. Start R:BASE 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.6.30214) or R:BASE Turbo V-8 (Build: 8.0.20.30214) or R:BASE eXtreme 32 (v9.0) (Build: 9.0.1.10214) or R:BASE eXtreme 64 (v9.0) (Build: 9.0.1.10214) http://www.rupdates.com 02. Try the following three examples and see what you get. -- Example 01: SET VAR vRWP = + (RWP('Imagine the Possibilities','Possibilities')) Variable vRWP will return the integer value of 3. -- Example 02: SET VAR vRWP = + (RWP('This is the R:BASE you have always wanted!','always')) Variable vRWP will return the integer value of 7. -- Example 03: SET VAR vRWP = + (RWP('Keep in mind that nothing is impossible','nothing')) Variable vRWP will return the integer value of 5. That's all there is to it! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
