How to check if a text box INCLUDES a word instead of IS a word

Hello,

I am making a game for a game jam that requires a text parser. I am wondering if there is a way to make the Text Input feature check if the inputted text includes a word rather than making it check if the inputted text is a word.

For example, the first thing you have to do is ask a character what their name is. Is there a way to just check if the player types in "name" rather than having to manually code in a check for every permutation of, "what's your name?" "what is your name" "do you have a name?" etc.

ALTERNATIVELY, is there a way to make it so the player cannot input punctuation into the text input box?

You can use the regex expression and do a comparison. I haven't done it personally, but there a few forum threads about the same thing you're asking.
