带有查找通配符的 MS Word VBA 搜索文本

Question

I need find these matches using "ms word find" with wildcards:

{{1,000.00}}
{{-125}} 
{{125-}} 
{{-1’100.00}}  
{{1’100.00-}}  

What should be the Selection.Find.Text for it?

I tried this:

[\{]{2}<*>[\}]{2}

but it does not work for some words.

---

This wildcard works almost exactly to what I need. I modified a bit to exclude Paragraph return ^13 [\\{]{2}[!\\}][!^13]@[\\}]{2}

However I have a problem matching a paragraph like this blabla {{2}} {{-2-}} blabla in this case it matches the whole paragraph ( {{2}} {{-2-}} ) and then it matches {{-2-}} .

Can someone tell me the reason, and what I need to change in the wildcards?

Answer 1

< and > are the word-boundary wildcards. For them to work, the first and last characters inside the braces would have to be letters or digits (or whatever Word's Find considers to be a "word" character). Try this instead:

[\{]{2}[!\}]@[\}]{2}

[!\\}]@ should match one or more of any characters except } .
