If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Look at the search patterns explained in the SearchPatternCookbook Topic in Twiki Web : "Extract values from a table " .. All you need is there, and you'll find the reponse there. If you deal with more complicated searchs, remember that a "formatted search" is like a cat pipe grep pipe awk : you can open a terminal and type cat twiki_dir/data/your_web/your_topic.txt and then use grep : this will help to find the regexp you need ..Did this help ?
