Hi Harold
You wrote:Please explain what the difference is between what I said in my
very first e-mail on this subject and what you, Larry, say "it works". I
really do not understand
This is what you said:[quote] "Trying to find "^7$" (no quotes)" & "if you
want to find seven or seven point something the easiest way, although not
the most concise, is to find ^7$|^7\..*$" [unquote]...which I tried but
couldn't get it to work and you also agreed later that it didn't work
[quote]:"I'm confused. This has Stopped working on my system. When I sent
you my first e-mail it worked exactly as I said. Now it doesn't. Sorry
[unquote]
The only difference from what you said and what Pradeep said is that his
didn't have the ^ or the $ or the \ or the *. His suggestion was simply to
enter each number separated with the | [vertical bar] and nothing else and
it works perfectly. Amazing how when we look too hard and too deep for a
solution the answer is sometimes the simplest one.
As I said earlier, I really do appreciate all your assistance and I want to
thank you for your patience with me.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas from Canada.
