How Do I Handle Special Characters when Filtering? - Connect IT Community | Kaseya
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p><strong>Question: </strong>How do I handle special characters when filtering device/test names?</p> <p><strong>Resolution: </strong>The filter box allows for regular expressions so while the majority of special characters are handled correctly when filtering by name, some like ( ) [ and \ are not. Please report any special characters that aren't handled as expected by opening a support ticket, You can filter the required results by qualifying the unhandled special character by placing a backlash '\' before it. You can also replace the unhandled special character with '<strong>*'.</strong></p> <p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032361/uploads/migrated/JI18N5YETC1R/mceclip0.png" alt="image" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img></p> <p><strong>Unhandled '('</strong></p> <p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032361/uploads/migrated/AGCI5CWPRC30/mceclip1.png" alt="image" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img></p> <p><strong>Replacing '(' with '*'</strong></p> <p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032361/uploads/migrated/UPLNCPSSR4HI/mceclip2.png" alt="image" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Qualifying '(' with '\('</strong> </p> <p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032361/uploads/migrated/RJZ6J8VYAINY/mceclip0.png" alt="image" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </article> </main>
