I have data that has [ ] in it for example:

Mike Smith [b.1975]

When I do an RList such as "

List MYTABLE with FULLNAME containing "["

does not deliver any results - it does not like [

Am I out of luck or is there some kind of hex replacements that can be used ?

WITH FULLNAME "[oh]" - containing

WITH FULLNAME "[Smith" - ending.

So your query SHOULD be WITH FULLNAME "View this thread on the Works forum...
