HI ,
I am trying to use regexm command (regexm(var,"us"))to see if the
values of variable have a particular string "us" like in "us thyroid"
.Unfortunately , it is picking up "us" from other string values like
"venous".If there a way to formulate command so that it can pick up
only values where "us" is a separate word and not part of word like
venous.
Thank you ,
Yours Sincerely,
Mike.
