SearchFileGrep - Wild card characters

NFR Partners Inc

The dash (or minus sign) appears to used as a wild card character in the TLMSSearchFileGrep component. For example, I have a file containing a string of 123-23.  If I search for 123-23 then it is not found. If I enclose this search argument in double-quotes ("123-23") then it is located correctly.

Is this behavior expected? If so, what does the - wildcard mean? I see nothing about this (or double quotes) in the help file.

Thank you.

Yes. "-" is an operator. Enter your search text into the Visual Search Builder (e.g. SearchFileGrep or RefineTest testdemo) to review the expression (same as AND NOT).
