Thanks. Not sure as I've been experimenting since, and files have also changed. But I'm sure you've identified the cause. I'm confused though. What is a 'whole word'? Does punctuation like a minus sign or full stop signal the end of a word? That appears the only way that IrrigUnit-1.WAV differs from those other results?

Yes, AFAIK Space, Tab, Carriage Return and other punctuation marks (which includes hyphen/minus sign) (i don't have the complete list, I'm expecting that someone will post here) are considered as end of word markers.

AFAIK only letters,digits and underscores are allowed as word symbols, but I may be wrong

Everything considers the following characters as part of a word:
a-z
A-Z
0-9
any non-ASCII character.

Anything else is consider a word break.
