Wild Card search and replace
The wild card search and replace is very handy, except when searching for the wild card characters ( "?' and "*") themselves. There must be an escape character to allow such searches.
Would one of you folks enlighten me? |

I don't think there's an escape character for wildcard matching, but using a character group surely provides the same effect.
"aa[?]" would match against "aa?" but not "aaa". Same thing goes for "[*]". |
