CONTAINSX Function

Syntax

Result_Flag as L = CONTAINSX(C String,C Words)

Arguments

String: The target to examine, a character string containing words separated by space characters. Character
Words: A character string containing words separated by space characters. The words to find in the target string.

Description

Returns TRUE if the string contains words that sound like like all 'Words'.

Discussion

CONTAINSX() returns .T. (TRUE) if all words in C Words appear at least once in the C String ; otherwise, it returns .F. (FALSE). Words found in memo fields will be highlighted. Searches are based on Soundex values. Performs a broader search than CONTAINS() , or CONTAINSI().

Example

containsx("now is the time for all good men", "now all is women") -> .F. because the word "women" does not appear in the first string
containsx("now is the time for all good men", "now all is ") -> .T.
