Generic search of characters

[alisol]

I need to make a generic search such as "??R3" in a string of characters in a file. The "??R3" means any 2 characters followed by R3 matchs the search. I don't know hwo I can put generic search in Labview. In general in Dos ? and * are used for generci search, what are their equivalent in Labview? Thanks

Use the "match pattern" from the string palette and use "..R3" for the "regular expression" input.
