If I have splited a sentence into arrays is it possible to search trough the arrays for a specefic word/sentence in the arrays, like I split "hi im a human" into "hi"/"im"/"a"/"human" and search for "human" and it tells me its in array 3?

Why split it into arrays first?

It's just as easy to search through a string for a section of it.

All you need to do is use the mid function to compare strings.

Example

Code: [Select]

Sentence = "Hi. I am a Human!"
Searchstring= "Human"
SentenceLength = len(Sentence)
SearchLength = len(SearchString)
for t = 1 to SentenceLength - SearchLength
  test = mid(Sentence, t, SearchLength)
  If test = SearchString then
    condition = true
    exit for
  endif
next  tThis loop or something like it will search any length of string for any substring. You could build this into a function which you can call from any point in your program. Unless you have a good reason to convert your sentence into arrays, don't bother.

I hoped there would be a command for it, if it is to loop I can fix it on my own
