FandRWholeWordBoundaries |
This function allows you to edit the character list that defines what constitutes a 'whole word.' Characters listed in this file are not delimiters. When Whole Word is enabled, a match is only accepted if it is not "attached" to adjacent word characters. Specifically, the character immediately before and immediately after the match must either not exist (i.e., the match is at the very start or end of the text) or not appear in the Whole Word file. This file is completely editable. You may choose to remove all numbers, for example. This would make numbers act like delimiters instead of word characters. |
