You could try the following (works for me).
Put a three-char string that's not in inString into X, e.g.
put "yap" into X
repeat for each line L in inString
repeat while \
matchChunk(L,"(?i)(^|\W)(pay)($|\W)",p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6)
put X into char p3 to p4 of L -- replaces pay
end repeat
put cr & L after outString
end repeat
replace X with "getVal(pay,,,debtor)" in outString
This finds case-insensitive exactly the trueWord "pay".
