I agree David, regular expressions look intimidating at first sight. But in fact if you compare your intuitive attempt filter tList with “*with [you,u] *” with the regex which does what you set out to do filter tList with regex “.*with (you|u) .*” they are almost exactly the same – for very

Re: filter with a tab character

I think you could also use \t to signify a tab char. As for the matching a range of numbers you'd probably be better served to have lc handle whatever is leftover. However, barring that, you might look at this page: http://www.regular-expressions.info/numericranges.html for an explanation of how

Re: filter with a tab character

Re: filter with a tab character

Thanks for the insights. Much appreciated. The list to filter is not enormous, but the 'for each' option would also handle any numeric evaluations, so both solutions will be valuable. Hugh Senior FLCo Klaus wrote: Am 04.02.2013 um 18:04 schrieb FlexibleLearning.com: I have tab-delimited
