How to Use Wildcards to Find Specific Text Patterns When Some Text is Part of the Text ?Any help would be appreciated
I have list of pattern to search the text , which is
Example Patterns:
1.1
1.1(a)
1.12
1.12(a)
1.12(b)
Example document to search:
1.1 1.12(a) 1.1(a) 1.12 1.12(a) 1.12(b) 1.1
Issues:
- When I search with 1.1 first, it will match all 1.1(a) , 1.12 , 1.12(a) , 1.12(b) with wildcard search.
- Using the wildcard pattern "Rule 1.1[!( ]" fails to match 1.1 if it appears at the end of a sentence..
- Using the whole word match , it doesn't work because its number , not a word
I am using mac so can't use regular expression which just much more easier to do it .
PHP Code:
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "Rule 1.1[!( ]"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindAsk
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchByte = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchWildcards = True
End With
Do While Selection.Find.Execute
Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
Loop
End Sub
