Hi, I hope you can help me.  I am trying to do a record selection based on a text field containing (rather than starting with) a certain chunk of text.  For example, I would like to keep any record where FIELD1 contains BC.  So I keep the line when FIELD1 is ABCDE, and don't keep when FIELD1 is FGHIJ.  I am a newbie and not familiar with SQL but am comfortable with the formula editor.  Thanks!!

{field1} like '%BC%'
it may be '*BC*' though
