Word within a group of words
So I have an expression, but I’ve found a flaw I need to rectify.
input = thisComp.layer(“TEXT”).text.sourceText;
if ((input == “bristol”) == 1) value else 0;I’ve included an expression on “TEST” so that it only does “toLowerCase()” so that I don’t have to worry about case sensitivity.
But I what I would now like to it do is search within words.
If my “TEXT” layer contained “Having a great time here in Bristol”, it will see the word bristol and still work, but it won’t because it only wants that specific word.
The reason I want this to work, is because some people leave spaces accidentally at the front or back of a word and ring me up telling me that they’ve spelt it right and that it isn’t working. I want to upgrade the above expression to compensate for multiple space and wording. Any ideas. I’ve tried a few things, but no success.

input = thisComp.layer(“station”).text.sourceText;
if (input.indexOf(“Bristol”) != -1) {
100
} else {
0
}Just incase anyone else has this issue
