Searching with special characters

Post by BanditBBS »

I have a string I'd like to search for and can't for the life of me get it to work, here are two examples:

Code: Select all

\Mcafree ran in test
I need to include the \ in the search!

Code: Select all

type passed as "e", should be one of: "0","1","2","3"
Any assistance with the query would be appreciated! I've been googling this simple thing way too long!

Hello, @BanditBBS. Please try running your search query with the \ sign before every special character, including the double qoutes:
