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'.

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
