Thanks to Kjeti, Chris and Ken.
Chris, your script works great with English, but I can't get it to work
with Unicode text. I tried to unidecode both the text field and
thePhrases and thus deal with two one-byte chars per one Unicode
two-byte character, preform the matchChunk function with one-byte
chars, and then use the startChars and endChars in the unicode field,
but the results are weirdly off.
I don't know if this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong. Has
anybody successfully used matchChunk with Unicode text? Any hints
would be greatly appreciated.
All best,
Toma
