How to escape special characters in model search
« on: June 14, 2011, 04:23:38 am »
Hi,

Some of the elements in the model have a "?" in their title. How can I search for elements containing a "?" in the title? The "?" seems to be a kind of wildcard character in the model search.

Thanks,
Jakob

If you have an EAP file then underneath its MS Access DB so use square brackets "[]". For instance searching for an Element named "MyElement?" you would enter "MyElement[?]" without the quotes into the search field.
It might be different with a SQL Server or Oracle DB repository. I Didn't have one at hand to try it out. Think it you might need to use a forward slash "\". Suggest you Google "SQL Server wildcard search" or whatever database you use to check.
Hope that helps.  :)
Happy to help
:)
