The \ backslash character has a special meaning in CA DataMinder search fields (it is used when searching for literal wildcard characters). To search for literal backslashes, you can normally enter these as ordinary characters but in some situations they require special handling.
If your search text includes a backslash (for example in a user name such as unipraxis\lsteel or a path such as \Sales\2003Q1.xls) CA DataMinder detects that the backslash is an ordinary character and no further action is necessary.
But if you want to detect a literal backslash that is followed by a wildcard character ( % * _ ? ), you prefix the backslash with another backslash. For example, to search for this captured text:
'C:\*\Q1_sales.xls'
You must enter this search text:
C:\\*\Q1_sales.xls
Where \\ detects the first literal backslash; because the second literal backslash is followed by a standard character ('Q'), it does not need a backslash prefix.
