Hi,
How do I use the search facility to search for the following string

STATS$

regards

Alan

The search will be failing because the $ character represents the end of line.

For example the STAT$ search string will only find the second of these two strings:

Code: Select all

STATION
STAT

To stop the $ from taking on special meaning just delimit it as follows:

Code: Select all

STATS\$

Cheers Jussi
