If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is 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 ?
