| Sets the LIKE
Operator to use a simplified pattern match which
emulates the behaviour of LIKE as used
by applicationin written for use with Thoroughbred Basic. The revised Throughbred-like
pattern matching logic is:
- "*"
(Asterisk) in the mask stands for any number of
characters including none
- "?" in the
mask will match any single character
- [ ... ] will match
any of the characters within the brackets.
A range of charaacters may be speficied by
including a dash as in A-Z which would match the
characters A thru Z
To match any of the above
escape characters ( * , ? or [ ) you need to include the
character within square brackets as is:
- [*] - Will match an
asterisk
- [?] - Will match a
question mark
- [[] - Will match a
open square bracket
