Searching sub string in a string

Abhii2658

I am trying to find a substring in a string and return the value 1 if it finds it. 

Example. 

(Contains([Vendor/supplying plant], "ABC", 1)
OR
(Contains([Vendor/supplying plant], "DEF", 1)
OR
Contains([Vendor/supplying plant], "GHI", 1))
then 1

 

 

ABC Logistics Returns 1 but it also picks other values Such as 

dataabc1234 Returns 1 as well. 

 

I just want value to be set as 1 only when ABC or ABC is an exclusive word and not a substring in another string. 

 

Please suggest.

Try this:

(Contains(" "+[Vendor/supplying plant]+" ", " ABC ", 1)

Added spaces to the beginning and end of both string and substring.
