Description:
There are two functions I need. The first function should return true or false depending on whether the word is found in the sentence or not. The parameter being fed in should be a string variable and the word to search for. The instr function cannot be used because the word has to match exactly, not just containing the word. Here are a few examples.
The example word is account.
if the sentence is "This is my account." then the function should return true.
or "This is my account statement" or even "Account for this" should all return true
However, if the sentence is "Accounting is a field" then it should return false because account is not used by itself. Here is the other function I need.
That is to return how many words from a string.
For example, if the sentence is
"The cat is in the hat." then it should return 6 because there are six words.
Deliverables:
The functions completed and a sample of how to use it.
Platform:
Windows XP.

Hi,
This sounds no problem, I'm online now on ICQ/MSN/Y! meaning I can get this all done in the next 20minutes for you.
My code will be fully annotated, and efficient. If you don't understand it I'll be happy to explain.

I've lowered my bid (to help me get this job :)), and I'm willing to include the 2nd function as a sample of my work for free.
