The filter command works on wildcards, not regex
Your filter definition = keep lines that are not exactly "tabtab"
You might be thinking
put "*" & tab & tab & "*" into theFiliter
= which means keep lines that do not have at least two tabs in sequence

Hi all. I cannot see what I am doing wrong here. Try this
yourselves. In the message box put:
put "test" & tab & tab & return & \
"sw_" & tab & tab & return & \
"sw_test3" & tab & "<" & tab & return into theDropData
put tab & tab into theFilter
filter theDropData without theFilter
put theDropData
I get:
test
sw_
sw_test3 <
NOTICE if you will, that lines 1 & 2 have 2 tabs together, and 3
does not. The filter command here should give me just line 3
shouldn't it??
Perhaps I do not understand the filter command or regular
expressions very well, but the command reference seems to indicate
that I should filter out all the lines that do not contain two tabs,
but it is not doing this. It looks for all the world like the filter
command is completely ignoring tabs in the expression!
