The filter command in LiveCode appears to accept a regular expression (using ? for a single character match, * for multiple character match, [chars] and [char-char]). However, if you want to filter a container to a string where you pattern contains a question mark, it does not appear that you can escape the ? with \? in the pattern to have it treated as a "real" question mark instead of a wild card.
While \? does not cause ? to be treated as a question mark instead of a wild card, using [?] does appear to treat it as a real character and not as a wild card. Does any one have any knowledge of escaping the special characters listed in the Dictionary? Or whether other regex special characters can be used beyond those listed? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
