Hello Justin,
That worked perfect but I have one more problem I need to know if one
of the word is UNAVAILABLE I need to know if it is the first one or
the second one. I don't know if there is any way to do this.
1st 2nd
$string ="UNAVAILABLE AVAILABLE More Info";
1st 2nd
$string ="AVAILABLE More Info UNAVAILABLE ";
