filter

[Craig newman]

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?

Hi all,

I am surely missing something here with filter.

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!


Best

Klaus
