Re: Filter with wildcards
The filter command has had a ‘with[out] regex’ form for a long time - so I’d use a regex instead :) (I’m pretty sure [ ] is a set of characters to match, rather than a list of sub strings, in wildcard expressions) Warmest Regards, Mark.

I think that matchText is what you are looking for. I have a proof stack which I shall upload to the forums, as obviously this is not possible here: https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7=38698 Best, Richmond Mathewson.

Re: Filter with wildcards
Oddly enough a matchChunk expression with "with you$" pulls out all the 'with you' stuff and excludes this sort of thing: 'with youthful naivety' . . . which is marvellous But a matchChunk expression with "with u$" catches nothing!

Re: Filter with wildcards
OK: well I had a bash with a set like this: with unlimited cheese with you with u with udders clagged with glaur with youthful naivety and your filter grabbed all of them. :( I tried this: with"with [you, u,]*" and got the same. On reading in the dictionary I found this: filtertVar with"[az]*"-- tVar contains all property names beginning with a or z and the problematic phrase is 'beginning with'.

Filter with wildcards
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 David Glasgow ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
