> How to search for special characters (peculiars) > in the developer exchange, e.g. "[" "]" > or whole phrases like "controls[]"
Some of the search functions do not use regular expressions or wildcarding and you can simply search for the phrase. If you are using match pattern, which does use regular expressions, you will want to "escape" the special characters by preceding them with a \. To search for [] you would search for \[\] Try it out in a simple example to learn how it works, and be sure to click the more help and read the manual page on this node as it is full of features.
