Search multiple files for special character sequence ???

Hi,
I’m trying to find all the ??? in my data but the multiple search function doesn’t find question marks in the data at all. I’ve tried treating it as a special character using escape hatches like /? or ‘?’ and “?” but nothing. Is there any way to search for one or multiple question marks?
Thank you!

Did you try the (actual) escape character ‘’ (the backslash) as well? So in this case “?”. I just tried with single and multiple file search and both seem to work as expected.

Yes I did, unfortunately, it’s not working. Is there anything else I can try? Can you send a screenshot of what you did?

I guess I could upload screenshot, but before doing so it would be good to know which search option you used/tried. The single file Find and Replace window, or the multiple file structured search (and then which tab). In both cases a “regular expression” checkbox or drop-down option has to be selected and it will be best if I make a screenshot of the window you try to use.

Ooops, I didn’t check the regular expression box AND use an escape hatch. Now it’s working :slight_smile: Thanks a lot!

Ok, good!
