2. Re: Wilcard Boolean Searches
Glenneth Jul 24, 2012 10:30 PM (in response to Steve Werner)Thanks Steve, I've been using the search menu for a while now by entering in "every" date in the PDF's
that I want to find. But now my requirements have changed to needing to find every date in the pile of PDF's
that ARE NOT a single certain date. Eg: I need to find every date in a document that "isn't" 01/01/2012.
I've tried many combo's of characters inc. Boolean " ? " and " * " to no effect. Eg: ??/??/???? not 01/01/2012.
I've also tried the "additional criteria" section saying "Is not".
I appreciate your help and your quick reply. Cheers.
