Default Extracting a word form a text string

Sorry Rick.

I overlooked the suggestion to use <spTEST<sp

And i was being thick about the word TEXT.

The person I responded to advised using <spaceTEST<space as the Find
string, not just TEST by itself in order to get to the word TEST as a
stand-alone word and not imbedded within other text (such as TESTING,
INTESTATE, etc... I was just pointing out those surrounding spaces were not
sufficient to do that. The word TEXT was a mistype of the word TEST.
