Filtering in Workbench
How do I filter out anything that would match
*Text* (this is excel format)
Example: Blah blah Text Blah blah (this would get caught by the filter).
It isn't working. It errors with: [06.24.16 01:56:22] parsing "*START*" - Quantifier {x,y} following nothing.
Filtering with:
Total*,*
worked in WB just like in Excel.
Also how do you do the wildcard for character in WB? In excel it is a ? and in Beast mode it is a %...

This seems to work as the find value in Workbench:
^.*[T-t]ext.*$
It finds and selects the entire string if the string has the phrase "text" or "Text" in it somewhere.
^.*text.*$ also works if you are sure your search word "text" is not capitalized.
^.*\n*.*text.*\n*.*$ Use this if you have line breaks in there anywhere (it can do one before and one after. repeat the \n*.* part for each additional line break you may have.)
This last example with find and select for replacement this entire string (with breaks):
Blah blah
this is text!
Yessir!
Regex.... Slowly learning!

Have you tried using the transforms filters in Workbench? There are a couple of filtering options, but the Search & Replace Properties sounds like it may work for you. There are a bunch of regular expressions, with descriptions of what they look for, that will help you search a string for the text you're looking for and then provide a replace value.
Hope this helps!
