How do I check if a textbox contains a word?

I can check if the textbox has a specific thing in it like if the text is "dog" I can just check for "dog" and find it, but what if I want to check if it just has "dog" somewhere in it? I need it to detect both "dog" and "the dog jumped high", just whenever "dog" is in the text field, activate. How do I do this?

if find(text, "dog") is > -1 will tell you if "dog" is in the text. Is that what you want?

maybe you can loop your words and find if(x == 'd' && x+1 == 'o' && x+2 == 'g') then there's a dog word inside your text.

Let's keep everything in C2 event system scope/context shall we?

Use codah's suggestion to just check whether "dog" exist.

Use [tokencount("yourText","dog")-1] to check how many occurence "dog" has.

Use event below if you want to check all index (zero-based) of occurence.

Condition: Repeat tokencount("yourText"," ")
Condition: compare tokenat("yourText",loopindex," ") = "dog"
Action: add <textVariable> with "_"&loopindex[/code:1sejahw6]

Example, if "yourText" is "the dog the dog the dog the dog the dog"
you should get <textVariable> = _1_3_5_7_9
