If you want to match "fish" exactly and want to only find it with spaces
around it, e.g., no periods or other characters allowed with fullword,
consider using a hex string:
$fish = { 20 66 69 73 68 20}
This would match only exactly on situations where there is a space followed
by the word "fish" and another space.
you can also consider this situation with a text string, which does
something similar, where \x20 equates to a space.
$fish2 = "\x20fish\x20"
If other situations outside of a space need to be considered, you can
address those as well in either a string or hex string.
