In 4D, the % operator lets you check if one string contains a word.
$str:="Hello community, I want to confirm if a string contains a specific word. How can I do that?" $str_contains:=$str%"specific" |
The % operator is case-insensitive by default — so "SPECIFIC", "Specific", or "specific" all match.
