I just tried this as the search criteria, using BBEdit, in a method and it found all the locals. \$[a-zA-Z0-9]* I don’t think you have to worry about how the var ends, just look for valid characters in the var, which I think are numbers and letters. So, your format wouldn’t match because there’s a space and non-valid characters (#) ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
