How to tell if something is put into the message box

[Alex Tweedly]

OK, I am NOT a regex expert, but ...

wouldn't that give you other lines like
    put tVar into myVar

should it not be simply
^put \w$
so that you don't get all the other put statements ... that "+" allows 
any number (>=1) of words.

And even then, you will miss
    if x = y then put tVar
and
   put tVar    -- for debug purposes
and
   put tVar + tVar1
and lots of other less constructs :-)
