Two strings or arrays, match whole words

[prodesigner]

I have two groups of words, strings or arrays and need to show the same words. It needs to consider the whole words only. This StringRegExp script match "sun" and "sunny" which is not good.

Any other way to match the whole words?

#include <Array.au3>

Global $group1 = "sunny|weather|all|day"
Global $group2 = "sun|sunny|moon|day|night"
Global $aResult = StringRegExp($group1, $group2, 3)

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", _ArrayToString($aResult, ", "))

Exit

Good old way :

Global $group1 = StringSplit ("sunny|weather|all|day","|"), $Result = ""
Global $group2 = StringSplit ("sun|sunny|moon|day|night", "|")
For $i = 0 to UBound ($group1)-1
  for $j = 0 to UBound ($group2)-1
    If $group1[$i] = $group2[$j] Then
      $Result &= $group1[$i] & ", "
      ContinueLoop 2
    EndIf
  Next
Next
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", StringTrimRight ($Result,2))

Regexp:

#include <Array.au3>

Global $group1 = "sunny|weather|all|day"
Global $group2 = "sun|sunny|moon|day|night"
Global $aResult = StringRegExp($group1, "\b(?:" & $group2 & ")\b", 3)

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", _ArrayToString($aResult, ", "))
