Hi David
1. See screenshot. Explanation:
"^" means start of field
"." means match any character
"DOES NOT match regex" means find all transactions where the field DOES
NOT have any character(s) ie is blank.
"Any criteria are met" means an OR search - only 1 of the criteria
(Number or Notes) needs to be met.
- Hope this makes sense.
2. I have no idea, but you may find this guide to "POSIX" Regular
Expressions (the dialect used in GnuCash) useful:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/watson-explorer/11.0.1?topic=queries-posix-regular-expression-syntax-examples
3. I don't understand what you mean by "no transfer account" - don't all
transactions have to have at least 2 splits?
NOTE that you can also View / Sort By an account by various fields
including Number, Amount, Notes etc which may help you to identify the
transactions that you are after.
Regards
Geoff

Every so often I want to search for misteaks in my data, and some less
usual searches come to mind. Can someone help me with these?
1. All transactions in the current account with nothing in the Number box
or in the Notes box.
2. Where in the help is a clue to doing a Regex based search that us
non-coders can understand?
3. All transactions that have both zero value and no transfer account.
