Hi all
 
First time poster here, running v9. I'm trying to select records that end with an asterisk, but am having trouble as this is the wildcard for many characters.
 
Have tried
 
{field} like "**"
 
but this returns all records, as I'm just asking for records with many, many characters.
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Thanks
Brenton

You can use

Right({field},1)="*"

This checks the last character of the string.
