Quick question: 'contain' string

Hello peoples.

A quick question. I'm experimenting with a 'terminal game'. I want the game to compare what's in a text input box, but how do I get it so that Construct checks to see if what's in the input box contains a word.

Here's an example:

I want the Construct to check if the input box contains the word "sit"

The user enters "sit up"

How do I get Construct to recognize that "sit up" has "sit" in it?

• Thanks

From the manual on system expressions:

find(src, text)

Find the first index within src that text occurs, else returns -1.

So, you can use find(textbox.text, "sit") and if it comes up with anything other than -1, the word sit is in there somewhere. Unfortunately, it would also find any words containing "sit", such as situation. If you wanted to make sure it was a specific word you could go with:

for "loop" 0 to tokencount(textbox.text, " ")

-Compare to values: tokenat(textbox.text,loopindex("loop")," ") = "sit"

That would break the string up by spaces (i.e. words, if the person isn't a bad typist like I am) and check each piece individually.
