Folks,
I’m trying to filter a list of comma-delimited values to include only the lines
that contain a string - somewhere in any of the items.
What’s wrong with this syntax - it’s currently returning no lines when I can
see tString in the second line of the variable?
filter lines of tList with "*[" & tString & "]*"
I’m guessing my concatenation fails to create good regex?
If you really want regex then you have to specify that explictly:
filter lines of tList with regex pattern "*[" & tString & "]*"
but my guess is what you want is just
filter lines of tList with "*" & tString & "*"
