string.Compare using wildcards
-
Hi, I'm trying to search a datagrid/datatable using
string.Compare, and doing something wrong when trying to use wildcards. I havesearchThisas the string to search for, which works fine withstring.Compare(search, searchThis);. But when I try to makesearchThis = "*" + searchThis + "*";it doesn't work. I'm sure it's pretty simple, but haven't been able to find the answer yet. Thanks for any help! Mel -

MelThe Compare method doesn't support wildcards. If you want to search entire strings with wildcard support, you'll have to use Regular Expressions[^].
