				| What is it you are trying to achieve? To make a program that reads a phrase/string and determine if it has use in it or not(ex. Dadsa adsiu s de ) that would count as a use
 
 
 What is the problem you are having?
 when i try to write a program to make it output the problem it fails to do so
 
 
 Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
 I've tried to use a for loop to check
 
 
 Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
 <Answer Here>
 
 
 	  | Turing: |  	  | 
var phrase : string
var  useword : string := "use"
var  numword : int
put "Please enter a phrase to check if it contains use in it"
get  phrase : *
for  x : 1 . . length ( phrase)
    if Str.Lower( phrase)=  useword then
    put "use has been found" 
    numword :=  x
    put "The word 'use' has been found in the ",  numword ," character"
    end if
end for | 
 
 Please specify what version of Turing you are using
 4.1

				| you might want to take a gander at this here article about string manilupation 
 http://wiki.compsci.ca/index.php?title=Turing_String_Manipulation
 
 basically what you could do is go through the phrase and check to see if the useword exists in it, one letter at a time, (keep in mind of spaces).
 
 Heres a little starter point so you can play around with it.  good luck buddy!!
 
 
 	  | code: |  	  | 
var useword : string := "u s e"
 
 for i: 1 .. length(useword)
 put ord(useword(i))
 end for
