Subject: [U2] SELECT problem with quote characters

I'm trying to select a string that contains a single-quote, using the
LIKE
operator. 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.

Cheers,
Wol
