finding word to create new variable

[bayzid]

I have a very long character variable and want to create a binary variable 0/1 if any of the specific words is found. As shown in the following figure, I have the Diagnosis variable and want to create the Hypertension variable if the former contains any of he words in red font.

hypertension = find(diagnosis,'HTN','i') or find(diagnosis,'HT','i')
    or find(diagnosis,'Hypertension','i') or ... 
;

Why don't you take a try at it yourself? It involves using the FIND function.
