Filter with wildcards

[David Glasgow]

Hi folks,

I am doing the above and struggling with an oddity that I can’t find guidance on on Livecode or wider wildcard stuff

A simple example is I am searching text messages for 'with you' or 'with u’

so I use the wildcard form

*with [you,u]*

That finds all examples of both just fine.  However, it also finds ‘with unlimited cheese’ and 'with us’, ‘with yours’ etc.  so I want a space after both u

When I put two spaces inside the square brackets after each string, the search still works but spaces seem to be ignored (so still finds the above resamples I don’t want).

If I put a single space after the brackets the first bracketed string is ignored and the filter only finds “with u “

Hope someone can help me stop pulling my baffled face

Cheers
