Is it possable to have a listen script listen for a set of 3 words in a particular order, reguardless of where they are in a sentance?

Yes.

llSubStringIndex()

string lookfor = "zim ka zoom";
string lookin = "Did someone say zim ka zoom?"

llSubString(lookin, lookfor) would return 17. It would return -1 if the string was not found.

so any number that is non negative would set it off, cuz it will always be negative if its now found?

No -- that number is the index of the match. So:

CODE

"oogabooga" search for "ga"
"__ga" match found
'0123'
Index: 2


-1 simply means that there was no find.
