Find Whole Word Problem

[J-Man]

I need to do a find on "Reg_3". I don't want to
Find "Reg_30", for example...I only want "Reg_3". I
thought that selecting the find option of "find whole
words only" would have done the trick, but that option
gets grayed out when I enter the underscore ("_"). Any
ideas on what I could do? Thanks in advance!!

Hi J-Man,

Turn on "Match wildcards, and look for <Reg_3>

I often use that "trick" in table columns: <12> will only find "12", and
not "123" or 7125".

< makes sure a match will only occur if a word starts there, > if it ends
there.
For more info on wildcards, see
