So I thought
...
filter fld 1 with "[*"
...
would do the job, but that EMPTIES the field!?
Obviously this [ interferes with some REGEX mechanism of filter?
So what should I use now?
I think:
filter fld 1 with "[[]*"
Should do the trick...
Basically, you can use '[...]' to 'escape' the operators in the wildcard
pattern (i.e. *, [ and ?).
Hope this helps,
Mark.
P.S. Wildcard patterns are a lot simpler than general regexes, but
'filter' can do both "filter ... with regex pattern ..." interprets the
pattern the same as matchText/replaceText.
