search for string in string

[Vetmora]

Hey all,

Just wondering what is the best way, or if there is a way, to search or compare two strings for a match. For example:

If you search and compare both of the following strings, the result would be "flower", as both contain that word.
String 1. "mountainflower"
String 2. "redflower"

The closest way I've found to do this is Find(String1, Right$(String2, 3 ), 0 ). However it's not ideal as you need to specify the length of the string. I'd like it if it could just search the whole string as they're going to change.

Is this possible at all? Any help much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Vet

I thought this should be easy, but it took me quite some time to get a working example.
The easy answer is to say you need to use fastloos. But it gets a bit complicated as you need take into account all possible words inside the two strings.
This example should work for any two strings, and I set it up to only find strings that are 3 letters or longer. You can change this yourself.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it! I ended up using Snail's example, purely for the fact it uses less objects as this is a minor game mechanic.

They are both great examples to get the same result. It certainly would have taken me a while to replicate.

Thanks again
