I want to determine if a string contains a word but doesn't contain
two other words.
For example (in the message box):
put "Internet Work" contains "Work" is true
How do I ask if the string contains "Internet" but not "Work" or "Home"?

put (myString contains "cat") and not((myString contains "dog") or (myString
contains "mouse"))

if ("Internet" is in tString) and ("Work" is not in tString) and ("Home"
is not in tString) then
-- whatever you want to do
end if

character [ option-L on the Mac ]
if ("Internet" is in tString) ¬
and not("Work" is in tString) ¬
and not("Home" is in tString) then
do this
end if
-
if ("Internet" is in tString) and ¬
not("Work" is in tString or "Home
Actually the "¬" (which I myself have used for
centuries) has been diminished in favor of "\".
The "¬" is not cross-platform it's there for
backward compatibility with imported HC scripts.
It's not even in the dictionary anymore.

Good catch, Stephen. Old habits, but cross-platform is the way to go.
Correction made :-)
