query from textbox

[gilgalbiblewhee]

I'm wondering if it's possible to search words from a huge text instead of one or two words. Example:

If the actual text says:

I'm walking the dog tonight. The dog is hungry.

Is it possible to search "walking" and "hungry" from one textbox or textarea?

Yes you can get the required words from the string.
For Eg.
var="I'm walking the dog tonight. The dog is hungry."
varno = InStr(1,var,"walking",0)
If varno is 0 then word found......
You can refer to

and use string functions.

hope this helps!!

You can also look into RegEx. RegEx is more efficient for complex pattern matching in strings.

If you are simply searching one or two documents then Instr method should suffice.
