Re: Must be a way: escaping filter patterns

Thanks Jim - good to confirm that there is no way to escape chars for filter expressions. I guess this is the sort of thing that should be posted as a note to the dictionary. 2009/5/2 Jim Ault jimaultw...@yahoo.com The technique I have used in the past is to do a replace [ with † in

Re: Must be a way: escaping filter patterns

Must be a way: escaping filter patterns

Still trying to figure this out - my hack ends up failing - I've returned a list of child names from XML, and wish to filter out all the tr elements which appear like tr[1], tr[2]. So I want to filter using tr[*], but as [ is a special char... andthe usual \[ does not work for escaping? Any ideas?
