Works fine here too:

set the wholeMatches to true
put trueWordOffset("BT", "foo btn")
   => 0

set the wholeMatches to false
put trueWordOffset("BT", "foo btn")
   => 2

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

P.S. Remember wholeMatches is a handler-local property not global - I 
only mention that because it sounds like it isn't actually the value you 
think when you are calling trueWordOffset.
