Matching Keywords to a Field

[whun450]

Hello all, I wonder if someone can help me with this. I have field1 that has text like "The shiny red car went fast"

I have three other fields that each have a word like:

'shiny'

'car'

'fast'

Since those 3 fields match words in field1, I would like to do a calculation that assigns points based on the amount of keywords in field1. In this case each of the 3 words is worth 10 points so my calculation field would equal 30 points.

What I'm not sure how to do is to match the keywords with the line of test. Hopefully I explained this right and thanks in advance for the help.

Maybe something like...

gKeyword1 = global field

gKeyword2 = global field

gKeyword3 = global field

gPoints = global number field

Let ( m = " " & gTextField & " ";

gPoints * ( PatternCount ( m ; " " & gKeyword1 & " " ) +

PatternCount ( m ; " " & gKeyword2 & " " ) +

PatternCount ( m ; " " & gKeyword3 & " " ) )

)
