Seach syntax
I've established a webglimpse archive of a unix tutorial. Using
wgall.html in that directory I'm attempting a search for this string:
[name] I mean the literal interpretation not a character set.
I've tried plain "[name]" (no quotes) seems to find almost everything
so assume it searches for any of those characters.
The page that displays the hits shows this query as:
Results for query "[name]".
Ok fine try escpaing the brackets "\[name\]" (no quotes)
Using the jump to line feature, things like this are what is hylited:
\n newline
\ddd octal value ddd
END { printf "\n%10s %6d %5d\n", "TOTAL", area, pop }
Double escapes finds nothing "\\[name\\]"
What is the proper syntax to find literal "[name]" (no quotes)?
