Wild card character in "Find" command broken?

Post by Travis »

In previous versions of Vensim (v8 and earlier; maybe v9) I found it very powerful to use the star (*) character in the Find dialog. I could type "*tax" and see all the variables with tax in the name.

The star character seems to be taken literally now in v10. Was this intentional? Is there a way to search for string patterns (e.g., grep-like) in v10?

TIA

You can just enter tax and it will match, no need for the *.
