Hi,

I changed the mysort() array to this:

mysort(1) = "apple"
mysort(2) = "apricot"
mysort(3) = "baby"
mysort(4) = "banana"
mysort(5) = "bar"
mysort(6) = "fit"

When I use the search pattern of "a", it sets myarray to this:
myarray = ["apple", "apricot", "aby", "anana"].

sorry, my bad.

to find the "a" at the beginning of the word you have to insert \bin
front of the pattern:
ptrn = "\ba[a-z]{1,}"

Cool! That pattern works!

But how do you test when no matches are found? I think it's returning the last element of the array when I search for a letter not in the array, such as "x".

I mean, there's an error message if I search for a missing letter in the array.

How do you test for an empty array? I thought "IsEmpty()" would work?

The code works great! Ignore my previous post about testing for an empty array. I merely need to check the count of the variable n to determine the array size. Thanks Claus!

Hi Claus. Do you know how to modify that regex pattern so that it grabs the entire string after the first matched letter?

So, if mysort(1) = "Andy is in Room #29.", then myarray(0) should have "Andy is in Room #29."

RegExp is for searching words or substrings in a text but not for
searching sentences.

For limited definitions of what constitutes a sentence it can be done.
