Find exact text and not contains

Question

Hello guys, We're dealing it some issue on attempting this: Right now with find() function or exact() you can't achieve the following: Let's say we have an e-mail with this phrase "I am an idealist", and on the other hand we have a key defined as: "ideal", right now because the body considers all the text, if you try with find(), the output is true because it finds "ideal" on " I am an [ideal]ist ", and the exact() will not work as well because " I am an idealist" is not the same as "ideal", even if the key was "idealist" it will output false as well. 
 
 Any ideas?

I'm unclear exactly what it is you *are* looking for. For instance are you looking for instances of " ideal " (i.e. with whitespace / non-word characters before and after, what we might call a "whole word" search elsewhere)? Or is it something else?

you have to match key value word by word for the sentence , here is what you can do to resolve that 
 a!localVariables(
 local!text:"I am an idealist",
 local!key:"ideal",
 local!wordWiseSentance: split(local!text," "),
 contains(local!wordWiseSentance,local!key)
)
/*returns true means key is present else not present*/

I'd start with 
 whereContains(local!criterios, local!corpo) 
 ...which will return an array of matches (indices in the 2nd array where value(s) from the 1st array are a match). If no matches, the returned array will be empty. You can do what you want from there with these results. 
 The same result is attainable via a nested a!forEach (as long as you structure it right, i think your examples above are close but both miss the mark somewhat) - but whereContains() does this work for you.

Or if simply using whereContains()... a!localVariables(
 local!criterios: split("teste,teste2,teste3",","),
 local!corpo: split("ola eu sou o carlos e tenhos teste e teste3"," "),
 
 /*a!forEach(
 items: local!corpo,
 expression: fn!contains(local!criterios, fv!item)
 )*/
 
 wherecontains(local!criterios, local!corpo)
)
