Can someone give me some good examples of using wildcards in their scripts.
Such as Find and Replace Text or whatever you use them for so I can get some ideas. Thanks

If you pull up the SEARCH & LOG TEXT WIZARD you'll find some good examples or usage, (however you want to look at it).
Personally... I feel these can be useful on a SEARCH & LOG script, but might be quite dangerous on a SEARCH & REPLACE script if you're not careful. |

I wanted to Search and Replace a specific number of characters with one known number at a specific location within the string. Would it look like this ********21-** , or would it look like this ########21-## ? I only want to change the "21-" to "11-", but it must search for that specific string length. Hope that's clear.
Thank You! |

Also, I've done a Search & Log Text. Is there a way to place this list in the File Que? If so, I'm not seeing it.
Thanks again |

When I use the later one (#'s) it chooses a drawing which has a text string like this "1B3-TB21-R4-41". I didn't expect it to because I have eight (8) #'s before the "21", not six (6). Humm. |

The search and log and search and replace scripts are backended by lisp. You can modify the lisp to suit your needs. I'm no lisp expert, so the introduction of Wild-Cards into the lisp would be a great idea, but difficult to implement (from what I understand) (Especially all the different variations).
If anyone can modify REPTEXT.LSP to get that working, it would be a good (but dangerous if misused  ) addition.
