Wildcard for Search


 

I know the answer is out there but cannot find it. I want to be able to search one of the custom fields I made (JARL City/Gun number and name) and want to search by just part of the data. For example, for data = 1051 - Nakagawa, I want to be able to searchand find all QSO records that have data starting with 1051. I tried asterick (*) and $, did not work. Appreciate a solution (assuming there is one).? FYI - just entered my 25,000th QSO into N3FJP last week. Awesome software.
Thanks, Bob, KD6C


 

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your e-mail.? The only wild cards that are used are with the Find function, specific to call signs..? To list QSO records with similar starting values, click on the column header for the column of interest to temporarily sort all your currently listed items.

Enjoy!

Okay, how do you make the sorted column permanent?

Also, you never said what the magical wildcard character is, such as * or # or whatever.

Please advise as you like.

I use the find button, and only type prefix, and put a check box in the 'partial'? ? ? ?I have never wanted to keep in other than by date, so dont know the last part of your question

If you click Find to search the callsign field, and type in "C6", it will find matches for any call sign where C6 appears anywhere in the call.? For example C6AA, TC6ZZ, AC6B would all be listed in the results.
?
When you click on a field header to sort by that field, I think it is just a temporary list.? I don't think there is a way to save that as your preferred sort.?

Yes, I know how to search a partial callsign. This question related to doing a search on another data field. A custom field I created to keep track of JA cities and guns. Scott answered that there is no wildcard capability, you can sort that column alpha and scroll down the list.

OK Bob, I was replying to Mikes questions.? I don't know if it would help you at all, but once you sort that column by that field, you can select the records you're interested in, then go to "Edit" menu and select "copy selected records to clipboard".? You can then paste that into spreadsheet or document.
