Does anyone know the syntax for doing a search for 'contains' in dbase ?
It's been about a year since I used this and I can't remember the syntax to
save my life.
I beleive it was something like
'seek for string $ in feild'
the $ being the 'contained in' statement.
Also I'm trying to get a search to ignore certain charecters, i.e. if I do a
search for a p/n like 1234-1234 and there is a ','comma instead of a '-' dash.
Thanks
Bob

The command is: string1 $ string2 where: string1 is found in string2 examples: list first,last for "123" $ street && find 123 in street address list first,last for "SW" $ street && find SW in street address note: I sometimes will use upper functions on one or both strings if I suspect there will not be a match because of mixed case.
