I want to find and select all strings of a particular kind in a word document. The strings are of this format


FileList(65,perfroma-3738747,s2')
FileList(65,file-375747,s2')
FileList(65,try-3738747,s2')
And so on
So all of them begin with FileList and all of them end with s2')
However the string length vary from one to another. Is there any way to do the same

You can use a wildcard Find, where:
Find = FileList\([!\)]@s2'\)

Forgive me for my naivety but how do i use that command
do I just enable wildcards in find and then paste this as it is because its not working that way

Thank you it worked!
