RegExp match with words

[MyEarth 10]

Hello

I need to use RegExp for check if a word match of a list of other words. Example $myvar = Apple, accepted word are Apple, Banana, Mango so match = 1. Accurate, example not accept Apples or Apple ABC, string must be equal but not case sensitive.

Thanks for any help

(?i)  for case insensitivity
\bword\b   for word boundaries

No code provided => general response

No code provided? And what kind of code do you need?

I have try this way:

MsgBox(0,0,StringRegExp("Apple s", "(?i)\b(Apple|Banana|Mango)\b"))

Give me 1 so not work

"Apples" does not match but "Apple s" does (word found)

$myvar = "Apple Bananas Mango"

$test = StringRegExp($myvar, '(?i)\b(apple|banana|mango)\b', 3)
If IsArray($test) Then Msgbox(0,"", UBound($test) & " matches")

As i have say, the string must be equal but not case-sensitive, no other words in the string. If there are other words need to return 0 also if "partially" match like in the case of "apple s" or "apple abc"

Ah OK, then you need anchors

$myvar = "Apple"

$test = StringRegExp($myvar, '(?i)^(apple|banana|mango)$')
Msgbox(0,"", $test)
