This has to be something I am missing because I am blind to it. I have a 
variable set to "*checkbox*" & tab & "√". When I filter the following text with 
that filter I get just the line which matchs. 

[1] ["roomid"]  16,[1] ["siteid"]       4,[1] ["uniqueid"]      18,[1] 
["status"]       Available,[1] ["building"]      Logos,[1] ["roomnumber"]       
 671,[1] ["roomname"]    Logos-IT Tech Room,[1] ["capacity"]     5,[1] 
["checkbox"]      √


HOWEVER, if I filter the following text with the same filter I get empty!

[1] ["clientnotes"]     ,[1] ["firstname"]      Robert,[1] ["lastname"]

Both chunks contain lines with "*checkbox*" & tab & "√" as you can see! But one 
filters correctly and the other returns empty! Now the plot sickens! If I 
change the filter to "*√*" then I get the correct results. If I change the 
filter to "*checkbox*" I also get the correct results. 

It is looking for all the world that having a tab in the filter can hose it, 
but only SOMETIMES. Apparently it works if there are no other tabs after the 
one filter finds??!?! Can anyone else verify this? Just save the two chunks 
above to properties in a stack. Then make a button that puts the chunks into 
two variables, and filter the variables using my examples above. See what you 
get.
