Hi Hugh
Usual technique to seek extra time from a client is to ask more
questions. :-)
I assume the string has to match on the start of a word boundary.
e.g.
put "This is a test." into sourceText (note the punctuation)
whole("is is a test",sourceText) => FALSE
Sorry. Ignore my first try. It fails already. (-:

How about:
put wholeWordMatch("This is a test",long id of fld 1)
function wholeWordMatch pFindText,pFldRef
find w
This doesn't check that the matched target starts on a word boundary,
But a simple check on char (tOff -1) or whether tOff is at the
beginning of the target shoud do it.

Hi Hugh
First try.
But like from our clients, we need clearer specs. ;-) What are the
punctuation rules?
This assumes only final punctuation in the target should be ignored.
It will try to match punctuation where it exists in the source. It
will fail if there is double punctuation in the
I am trying to write a function that returns whether a given phrase exists

whole("This is a test",fld 1) = TRUE.

You mean something like...
set the defaultStack to "Karten"
repeat with n=1 to num of marked cds
replace SPACE&SPACE&SPACE with TAB in fld "Antwort" of
marked cd n
end repeat

This is a small 70 page/card book. One field per card. There are about 15
