This would "usually" work :
put "theader[1]" & cr after tList
put "th(1)" & cr after tList
put "th(2)" & cr after tList
put "th[3]" & cr after tList
put "tbody[1]" & cr after tList
put "tr[1]" & cr after tList
put "td[2]" & cr after tList
put "tra[3]" & cr after tList
put "tr[11]" & cr after tList
I think this does what you require:
put "tr[1]" & cr after tList
put "tr(2)" & cr after tList
put "tr[3]" & cr after tList
put "tr[a]" & cr after tList
put "td[1]" & cr after tList
put "tra[1]" & cr after tList
filter tList without "[t][r]?[0-9]]"
put tList
Try playing around with the 2nd letter
Thanks Jim - good to confirm that there is no way to escape chars for filter
expressions. I guess this is the sort of thing that should be posted as a
note to the dictionary.

The technique I have used in the past is to do a
replace "[" with "†" in blockOfLines
replace "]" with "^" in blockOfLines
filter blockOfLines without "tr††*^^"
--and in case there are kept lines that had the '[]' chars
replace "†" with "[" in blockOfLines
replace "^" with "]" in blockOfLines

Afraid not :(

does this work?
filter tXmlText with "*tr[[2]]"
When you wrote to the list about this problem before, I did a quick
test and that seemed to work, so I thought "maybe I don't get the
problem".
I'm not sure if it will work using "[[*]]"

Still trying to figure this out - my hack ends up failing - I've returned a
list of child names from XML, and wish to filter out all the "" elements
which appear like tr[1], tr[2]. So I want to filter using "tr[*]", but as
"[" is a special char... andthe usual "\[" does not work for escaping? Any
