Hi,
I need to find an exact match of a text.
From the list below, I need to flag records (1 & 2) with the text "Connect". But when I use Find() it flags all the 4 records. Findw() is not helping either.
Connect

Service, Connect/Boat

Thanks!
Findw should work for you in this case, you just need to specify the delimiters, otherwise the default will kick in, which includes '/' that you don't want.
data test;
infile cards truncover;
input str $ 20.;
flag=findw(str,'Connect', ' ,')>0;
cards;
