Comparing texts with missing or extra letters(words)

[bor2duo]

Hey all,
my problem is when I start to compare two texts with different lenght.
The point is that the texts are loaded in two RTB and I don't know how to compare them.
I found that I have to split the strings and then to compare word by word,but it's hard for me because (as default),these RTBoxes are empty and user put the texts from files.
I'll appretiate your help!

Have you tried using the split function?. Very good for this kind of task

myArray = split(text," ")

Yes.It was the first thing that I tried.But the problem is that these rtf texts files are in 2 rt boxes, and when I split them:

MyArray1 = Split (rtb1.text,"",-1,1)
MyArray2 = Split (rtb2.text,"",-1,1)

I don't know how to get result (letter by letter or word by word) from compare event.

? I don't think you will have much success trying to split a string using an empty one as a delimiter.

Note Denster's example included a space i.e. " " this being the normal delimiter between words in a text document.
