tabfind?

[Achim]

I have this table

a
b
c d

now I wanna find the cell “c d”
tabfindincol("table1","c d","rc",0,0,"forward") returns -1

It only works if I search for “c*d”, but as I get the “fixed” search string from another table, I need to squeeze in a substitute to replace " " with *
tabfindincol("table1",substitute(tab("curr",0,0)," ","*"),"rc",0,0,"forward")

Is there a more elegant approach? Or is it a bug?

in the next release, you should be able to use “‘a b’” to search for a_space_b. “a b” will still search
for a or b.
