Definition

Entry field for finding values using a character string.

Use

You have the following options for finding a character string:

  1. Find ordinary characters without matching the case

    Entry Description

    *AB* Find values which contain the string

    AB, such as CCABC.

    *A+B* Find values which contain A, followed by

    another character, followed by B,

    such as CACBC or DWABEE.

    ++A+B+ Find six-character values which contain A

    as the third character and B as the fifth

    character, such as LCACBC or DWAZBE.

    *A*B* Find values which contain A, followed by

    one or more characters, followed by B,

    such as CACBC or DWAZCFGBEE.

    AB* Find values which start with AB.

  2. Find ordinary characters and match the case

    You can use the special character # to determine that the character

    directly after the # is checked precisely. This is useful, for

    example, when you want to match the case.

    Entry Description

    *#A#b* Find values which contain the string

    Ab, such as CCAbC.

    #A++#b+ Find five-character values which contain A

    as the first character and b as the fourth

    character, such as AdCbH.

  3. Find special characters

    You can use the special character # to determine that the character

    directly after the # is checked precisely. This is useful, for

    example, when you want to find special characters.

    Entry Description

    *#+* Find values which contain a plus sign (+),

    such as AC+DC.

    #+* Find values which have a plus sign as the

    first character, such as +A-C-F#.

    *## Find values which have special character #

    as the last character, such as +A-C-F#.
