>I want to find certain words in a string. meaning the word can be at the beginning of the string followed by a space, at the end of the string preceeded by a space, or in the middle of the string both preceeded and followed by a space. I use VFP 6.0 SP5. How can I accomplish this without my current bunch of goobly gook code.

? upper(" word ") $ " this phrase contains more than just one word "
IOW, add a space at the beginning and at the end.
