I have an application that I'm building that has fields stored with "wild card" characters in them. These wild cards are "&". i'm trying to figure out if the search on a gridview can accommodate what i'm looking to do. also, does anyone have a way for me to do it.
The field i'm looking to search has data that looks like 1C6&R6TP&D
As i'm trying to filter the grid results, i would like if the user could type in "1C64R6" or "1C6AR6". Meaning that the user could type in any character and the record would be found. its almost a reverse regex.
Any ideas are appreciated.
