Question
How do you search for strings with punctuation?
Answer
In the Portal it is not possible to search for an exact text string that contains punctuation because punctuation characters are not included in the indexing and have a space substituted for them.? For example a search for "compound.word" actually searches for "compound word".? This holds true for all punctuation characters as follows:
!"#$&'()*+./:;<=>?@[]^`{|}~ (a partial list derived from the alphabet.dat file)
The most reliable way to find the exact occurrence of a punctuated string is to create an event whose pattern data contains that string. The event fires when that exact string is found.
!"#$&'()*+./:;<=>?@[]^`{|}~ (a partial list derived from the alphabet.dat file)
The most reliable way to find the exact occurrence of a punctuated string is to create an event whose pattern data contains that string. The event fires when that exact string is found.
