Klaus. I use "filter" here and there, mostly with regex or wildCards.
But nothing works for me either,: Filter yourText with "[" Filter yourText where each contains "[" Not sure what is going on. Where is Thieery?

I have a field with some lines like: ... [500] text yadda yadda [100] ... And want to filter the field that only the lines with [...] remain in the field. So I thought ... filter fld 1 with "[*" ... would do the job, but that EMPTIES the field!? Obviously this [ interferes with some REGEX mechanism of filter? So what should I use now? Any hints very appreciated!
