RegEx difficulties

[Chris Sheffield]

Thanks, Ken.  That is exactly what I was looking for.  Is that documented
somewhere?  It'd be handy to have some really good RegEx docs.  I'm kind of
new at it.

Thanks again.

You better believe it, Chris. You can use the "\b" command which means
"word boundary", like this:

  if matchChunk(tStoryText,"\b(" & tWord & ")\b",tStartChar,tEndChar)
then


Have fun!
