title: How do I check for an EXACT word in a string in python
body: <p>Basically I need to find a way to figure out a way to find the EXACT word in a string. All the information i have read online has only given me how to search for letters in a string so </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>98787This is correct</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>will still come back as true in an if statement.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I have so far.</p>
  
  <pre><code>  elif 'This is correct' in text:
      print("correct")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This will work with any combination of letters before the Correct... For example fkrjCorrect, 4123Correct and lolcorrect will all come back as true in the if statement. When I want it to come back as true only IF it exactly matches "This is correct"</p>
