Hi Kat,
I'm not quite sure what you are driving at either.

When you run this code of yours, what do you get displayed?

When I run it, it only reports that 'is' is found. And this is exactly what I
would have expected.

My assumption is that 'parse()' converts :

 "this is a test of match()"

to:

 {"this","is","a","test","of","match()"}

In which case the match({"is"},test) call will return 2. Because "is" is the
second element of the
test sequence.

In which case the match({"s"},test) call will return 0. Because "s" is not any
of the elements in
the test sequence.

What did you find surprising with your test?
