Matchtext for multiple words

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Jacque,

Are you sure you need a regex? ;-)

function AreWordsIn pText,pWords
   repeat for each word tWord in pWords
     if space & tWord & space is not in pText then return false
   end repeat
   return true
end AreWordsIn

As this way of doing searches for words that are not in the text, it  
should be very fast...
