Here's what I meant:

setting the wholeMatches to true will match the input string verbatim, 
without regard to wildcards. So

lineOffset("local tFunction", ttext) will only match
local tFunction
and
lineOffset("local*tFunction", tText) will only match
local*tFunction
not
local tFunction
and not
local someThing, tFunction, somethingElse
