Subject: Proposal for a new calculation setting: table:use-wildcards
Hi, I'm proposing a new calculation setting table:use-wildcards that is needed for interoperable formula calculation. To the <table:calculation-settings> element of section 8.5.2 add the following: Use Wildcards The table:use-wildcards attribute specifies whether wildcards are enabled for character string comparisons and when searching. <define name="table-calculation-setting-attlist" combine="interleave"> <optional> <attribute name="table:use-wildcards" a:defaultValue="false"> <ref name="boolean"/> </attribute> </optional> </define> The table:use-regular-expressions attribute and the table:use-wildcards attribute are mutually exclusive, the value can not be 'true' for both attributes. If set, in a query or search string of a function declared to consider this attribute, a question mark '?' matches any single character, and an asterisk '*' matches any sequence of characters, including no character at all. A tilde '~' escapes the special meaning of a question mark or asterisk. To search for a tilde character prefix the tilde with a second tilde. Eike
