leSearchHierarchy and [ ]

[tnk11@yahoo.com]

Hi all,
How can I use leSearchHierarchy in conjunction with square
bracket? I think if I can manage a '\' in front of '[, it may work. But
I have very hard time adding this stupid character into the string. Any
tips please?

Wild guess without trying it - you might need to use a double \ (i.e. \\[).
If I remember rightly, the layout search uses regular expressions - and so
you need to escape the [] which are regexp metacharacters. However, backslash
has special meaning in strings (like in C), and so you need to escape the
backslash too...

Not sure this is right - give it a try though.

Regards,

Andrew.
