Hi Mat, You seem to want to look at something like "[[Foo]] Bar Baz" as a whole string. I'm not sure how to even set that up experimentally, because TW constantly wants to turn it into a title list, with each item viewed as a title. As far as a regular expression that just finds "Foo" (assuming a standard title list) then regexp[^Foo$] should work.
