Quote:Try putting a real equal sign "=" in the element and see what happens, I think it will come back as found.
You are correct, it treats it as a literal character. This will find an equal sign in a text field.
Quote:You could also try @REST(Amount Paid,"") to look for a blank field
This does not work because it appears to treat "" as "0.00", but I want blank, not zero.
Quote:So what does REST stand for? REsides in STring?
I'm guessing that it stands for RESTrict spec.
Edit: After reading this again, I don't know what I was thinking. This doesn't make any sense, does it?
Quote:I think that is limited to the ".." wild card
It's supposed to handle all the retrieve specs...
The Sesame manual states that @REST(x,m) "Returns true if the element referred to by x contains a value that matches m. M can be
any valid retrieve specification."
It works in Q&A the way this Sesame definition indicates it should.
