Question about Wildcards

[Mrbd]

I have a program that needs to use wildcards in table i/o? What I have been told is that I need to read every record and then parse the string to see if the data I'm searching for is in the returned data. This seems very inefficient? Is there a better way to do this?

You can use wilcards with the % character and the like operator in table IO select. (the like operator is equal sign with a squiggly top line)

You may not want to use the person who gave you this info as a resource any longer.

Who knows what else he will tell you.

Craig's solution is the right way to do it.

Hehheh, I agree

I wasn't the one!....

AND...

... I'd sure like to be the company that is selling them CPU Cycles...

I don't want to be that guy but here I go. I think that you should learn some sql, then some C, and then come and develop E1. Then and only then we will not have MBF written in NER.
