alanjt Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 sorry, yeah they are 4 different single line text objects Then it should work fine. The (strcat "*" (getstring ...) "*") on either side will account for anything that has your specified string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 very nice thanks it does work then... anyway i can search for words and not just integers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 nevermind it works. I was searching text that needed to be case sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 That's one of the problems with filtering text directly from the ssget filter. Actually, you can do this with QSelect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 i just tried that. it needs to match the entire contents of the mtext object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBox Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Look a little closer. I undertsand that Lee aptly provided a contingency in his getstring message (i.e., ""), I was just confused by the inclusion itself. Ockham's Razor, I 'spose.

Actually, you can do this with QSelect. i just tried that. it needs to match the entire contents of the mtext object. Not if you set the Object type to text, properties to Contents, and Operator to Wildcard Match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ockham's Razor, I 'spose. Ahh, I understand what you are getting at and it makes sense; why would you want to be able to select text matching everything (thus, no filter)?

BlackBox Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I'm a little slow on the uptake today. You're telling me... I just took an 4 Advil medley with a water chaser. I'm off my game today (I think. No, I am. No wait, I think.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
