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


Hope this helps

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 "<tr>"

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
ideas?

Any one know the way to escape characters such as "[" in patterns for
the
"filter" expression?
