Description
|
\*

Supported wildcards include:
• * (asterisk)
• ? (question mark)
• “ (double-quote)
• ‘ (single-quote)
• \ (backslash)

<specific set of characters>*Name
|
To search on any string containing a specific set of characters, any number of other characters, and the characters names.
For example, enter WWGM*Name to search for any string with any number of characters that contain WWGM and the character names.
|
<specific set of characters>?Name
|
To search on any string containing a specific set of characters, one other character, and the character’s name.
For example, enter WWGM?Name to search on WWGM, only one other character, and the character name.
|
<specific set of characters>?*Name
|
To search on any string containing a specific set of characters, one or more other characters, and the characters names.
For example, enter WWGM?*Name to search on WWGM, one or more other characters, and those character names.
|
<specific set of characters>\*
|
To search on the string containing a specific set of characters, and the wildcard * (asterisk). For example, enter WWGM\* to search on any string beginning with WWGM.
|
<specific set of characters>\?
|
To search on the string containing a specific set of characters, and the wildcard ? (question mark).
For example, enter WWGM\? to search on WWGM anywhere within the string.
|
<specific set of characters>\\
|
To search on the string containing a specific set of characters, and the \ (backslash) character.
For example, enter WWGM\\.
|
“<string containing white space>”
|
To match on a string containing white space, place a “ (double-quote), or ‘ (single-quote) character around the string.
For example, to match on asynchronous mode, enter ”asynchronous mode”.
|
‘<string containing white space>’
|
|
“<string containing white space>”<and>’<string containing white space>’
|
To match on multiple strings containing a white space, place a “ (double-quote) or ‘ (single-quote) character around each string separated by a space, or line between the strings. The default logical relationship between multiple search strings is OR, which is represented by a space.
For example, to match on asynchronous mode or Pro*Data functions, enter:
"asynchronous mode" 'Pro*Data functions’.
You can also enter,
"asynchronous mode"
‘Pro*Data functions’
|
<string containing white space><space><string containing white space>
|
To search for multiple strings with a white space where you want the results for either string, separate the strings with a space.
For example, enter WWGM*Get ProMdl* to search for all strings matching WWGM*Get or ProMdl*.
|
<string containing white space><and><string containing white space>
|
To search for multiple strings with a white space where you want the results that only contain both strings, do not separate the strings with a space.
For example, enter WWGM*GETProMdl* to search for strings that match WWGM*Get and ProMdl*.
|
<string><and><string>
|
If a string matches two or more search strings, the APIWizard displays only one result in the search table, for example: Full* *Name returns only one entry for each FullName property found.
|
<string><and>’<string>’
|
To match on mix quoted and non-quoted strings, returns all instances of strings containing <string> and “<string>”, or strings containing on of the strings. For example, Get*Name “family table” returns all instances of strings containing Get and Name, or strings containing family table.
