It works fine with EQ. So if I do a SELECT FILE WITH FIELD EQ LLOYD'S , the select returns exactly what I expect. But if I do a SELECT FILE WITH FIELD LIKE ...LLOYD'S... it returns pretty much the entire file And if I do a SELECT FILE WITH FIELD LIKE \...LLOYD'S...\ it returns nothing. What on earth is the syntax for picking up an embedded quote in data in a LIKE comparison? PIOPEN flavour, by the way.
