Re: Filter with wildcards

I agree David, regular expressions look intimidating at first sight. But in fact if you compare your intuitive attempt filter tList with “*with [you,u] *” with the regex which does what you set out to do filter tList with regex “.*with (you|u) .*” they are almost exactly the same – for very go
