numero = 58322
interpreted = N
texte = The range method from "0" to "a" would also find records with NAMES exactly equal to "a". And the "le" method will NOT find records with NAMES beginning with 9 then a letter ("9BOB" > "9999999") And what of NAMES beginning with a punctuation character (e.g. "#BOB")? Are they an issue for you? Some of them are less than "0" (space, !, #), some are between "9" and "A" (:, ?, @) and others are greater than "Z" (\, _, {). Here's the set of NAMES I've been playing with: Fred #fred 0 493 bob 88 9 9ZZZZZ 9_bob A a Bill 99 cat Dog ZZbob zzBOB [george] _dude {mike} I've tried group fields to search the NAMES field twice, but haven't come up with a single search that finds records either less than "A" or greater than "Z~~~~~~~~~~~". If you just need those with a digit for the first character, I'd suggest using "&rnNAMESdatarq=0 9~~~~~". - brian On Jun 10, 2004, at 1:55 PM, wrote: > Thanks for all the help. > Both search criterias work for me > > &rnNAMESdatarq=0 a > &leNAMESdatarq=9999999&NAMEStype=text > > Eduardo > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Gary Krockover" > To: "WebDNA Talk" > Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 1:44 PM > Subject: Re: searching for items that begin with a number > > >> Ok, added it and this still works for me: >> >> [search db=data.db&rnNAMESdatarq=0 a] >> FOUND: [numfound]
