Wildcards in the text search of WeBuilder

[Stumpi]

Hello,

I have found no way to use wildcards in the text search. It is impossible?

Thank you, Stumpi.

You can use regular expressions by checking Regular Expressions in Find window. They can find wildcard-like expressions and much more, some info here: http://www.regular-expressions.info/quickstart.html

If you're only familiar with wildcards, here's what you can use:
wildcard-like

Code: Select all

file?

would be

Code: Select all

file.

wildcard-like

Code: Select all

file*template.php

would be

Code: Select all

file.*template\.php

You can also search things like

Code: Select all

var[0-9]+

or find any tag with

Code: Select all

<[a-z]+>

and much more.

Thanks for your helpful answer and for your patience. I tested it, it works well. I just have to remember the correct character sequences.
