You should be able to do "*[ab]*"Hi,
I have a long list with text. The syntax
filter myLongList with "*a*|*b*"
should return almost the complete list, but I don't get any data returned, while
filter myLongList with "*a*"
and
filter myLongList with "*b*"
both work. What's wrong here?
You're using "filter" as though it tok any normal Regular Epression. It doesn't - only
Wildcard expressions are similar to regular expressions. You can use the following characters in a wildcard expression:
*
Matches zero or more of any character. The wildcard expression A*C matches "AC", "ABC", or "ADZXC".
?
Matches exactly one character. The wildcard expression A?C matches "ABC", but not "AC" or "ADZXC".
[chars]
Matches any one of the characters inside the brackets. The wildcard expression A[BC]D matches "ABD" or "ACD", but not "AD" or "ABCD".
[char-char]
Matches any character whose ASCII value is between the first character and the second character.
