Question

Please, whats the best way for checking if some text sentence have some of the keywords provided, and there could be 100 keywords.

For example:

var text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.";
var keywords = ["lorem", "sit", "elit", "sed do"];

Now whats the best and fastest way to check if any of keywords is in text, but like whole word not part of word, and its case-insensitive?

BTW Its Google Script, maybe there is some function which I didnt see :\

Thanks in advance

Try something on these lines.

var text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.";
var keywords = ["lorem", "sit", "elit", "sed do"];
var words = text.split(/[\s,]+/); //Add all other delimiters you want to include. 
for(var i in words){ 
   words[i] = words[i].toLowerCase(); 
}
for(var i in keywords){
  if(words.indexOf(keywords[i].toLowerCase()) != -1){
    Logger.log('Match found for ' + keywords[i]);
    break;
  }
}

Thanks to this post for splitting on multiple delimiters
