Hey Peter,
Personally I'd use the Satimage osax and regular expressions:
set n to "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."
set findData to n
set findString to "\\b[a-z]{3}\\b"
set theResult to ¬
find text findString ¬
in findData ¬
case sensitive false ¬
regexp true ¬
all occurrences true ¬
with string result The example finds 3-letter words. Change '{3}' to '{5}' in the example for 5-letter words.
