In the Regular Expression world the square brackets mean "consider the next char = [a-z] as a hit if it is lowercase a through z, thus [a-zA-Z] => lower and uppercase rule for a *single* character.
[$£] means true if the char is either "$" or "£" filter productName with "*[Rr]ev*" --> means filter if lower or upper R (see examples below) careful when considering: filter ("rev & cr & "Rev" & cr & "cat") with "*r*" => both lines filter ("rev & cr & "Rev" & cr & "cat") with "*[r]*" => "rev" filter ("rev & cr & "Rev" & cr & "cat") with "*[R]*" => "Rev" filter ("rev & cr & "Rev" & cr & "cat") with "*[rR]*" =>both lines -- --in the multi-line msg box you could do the following 3 lines to test get ("rev & cr & "Rev" & cr & "cat") filter it with "*[r]*" put it into msg --now change line 2 to see the difference --you can do debugging & more complex lists by get the clipboarddata filter it with "*[r]*" put it into msg filter it with "*[r][e][v]*" => "rev" is in the line somewhere filter it with "*[R][E][V]*" => "REV" is in the line somewhere filter it with "[R][E][V]*" => line must start with "REV" filter it with "[R][E][V]" => line must be exactly "REV" filter it with "*[R][E][V]" => line must end with "REV" filter it with "*rev" => line must end with "rev" upper or lower chars This can get you started. The more rules you add, the more CPU cycles required. The closer to the beginning of the line a hit is found, the faster the filter/RegEx commands will work. I use very simple patterns so I don't know all the variations or where to find them.
