In this case you will need to temporaily change the SINGLE character. SET SINGLE=? Notice no spaces around the = Now search for your underscores. When done SET SINGLE=_

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] (203) 643-8022 From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alastair Burr Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 6:12 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Finding '__' query I am trying to find and then eliminate a realstring of two underscores in a file name. Because the underscore is the single wildcard, probably not surprisingly, I am finding far more than I want. I seem to remember that there was a way of escaping the character to force the search to find the underscores rather than any character. Can anybody remind me of how to do it, please?
