Help searching hexidecimal string.

[Wiebe@CARYA]

Do you mean 2E as a string (a 2 and a E), or as the character 2E?

Regular expressions don't work too well with non-ascii codes. 2E is a
decimal point, so that shouldn't be a problem. But if your string indicator
is in hex mode, you'd see 2E, but a reg. exp. won't find 2E.

That is because 2E (.) is a reserved character for regular expressions. You
have to escape it with a backslash: "\.".

I was actually trying to use the 2E as a decimal point for the regular expression (wild character).  Looks like a problem in LV8.0, as it works in 8.6 (which i dont have application builder for.).  Oh well guess ill do it the long way, thanks again for all the help. 🙂

8.0 should be forbidden. It's only good for converting >8.2 code to 7.1.
