* Line 4 now gives 3 !!!! Yet there is no '10' in there at all
* The rest is just to prove my point the length of the string doensn't change
* but after the strip all works as it should...
* I think the problem occurs when the first character of the searchstring and
* that of the deleted word are the same.
* MH - the problem occurs if the word following the word to be deleted is
* 1 character shorter than the word being deleted and starts with the
* same characters as the word being deleted. Seems the check for a word
* at the end of the string checks 1 character past the end of the string.
