Hi,

As an AppD beginner, loads of time, I get stuck with the easiest problems..   😞    right now I am trying to create a search that extracts content from a file.

SELECT * FROM logs WHERE source = "%*SAP*%" and messages like "%,cn%" but do not get a search result.    *sap*  is part of the filename.     ,cn is part of the content...      any good ideas out there ??    

thanks.

helmut.

Helmut,

can you let us know what's the error you are facing while running that query. Maybe, you can share a screenshot if possible.

Also, I would suggest you to try something like below and let me know if it works and also try once without any wildcard charcters and share its result.

SELECT * FROM logs WHERE source = "%*SAP*%" and message ="%,cn%"
