Subject:Any sample descriptions for using wildcards? From:jsokohl -at- mac -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 10 Jun 2004 12:33:08 -0600
Hi,
I'm in a bind. I need to describe (in online help for non-technical users)
how to use wildcareds in a field. Basic idea:
*j* gets all items that have a j somewhere in the middle of the word
J* gets all items that start with J
*j gets all items that end with j.
Anybody done anything like this that might be short, sweet, and stealable?
