How about a one-liner:
put wordOffset("incertain",myVar)
If the words ever have punctuation attached, use trueWordOffset.

Hi list,
I have a variable with a content of 3 lines as follows :
1 sombre brun profond
2 flou incertain
3 inexploré mystérieux inconnu
The separator between words is tab.
I want to check if a certain word is among the items as a whole.
The following script returns "6" :
set itemdel to tab
set the wholematches to false
put itemoffset("incertain",myVar)
The following script returns "0" :
set itemdel to tab
set the wholematches to true
put itemoffset("incertain",myVar)
The following script returns "7" :
set itemdel to tab
set the wholematches to true
replace return with tab in myVar
put itemoffset("incertain",myVar)
Scripts 1 & 3 are logical, but any logical explanation
for the result of script 2 ? Does it mean that the return
char after the word is considered as part of the word ?
