Hi,

for selection.find, how can I search sth that start will the word "Chapter"

If I use regexp, I can set pattern = "^Chapter"
Can I use "^" in wildcards selection.find?

Many Thanks

Use the character '<' for the start of a word, and '>' for the end of
a word.

The character '^' signals the start of an ASCII code, such as ^13 for
a paragraph mark.

Word's wildcards are similar to regexp expressions, but there are many
small differences. For the whole story, see
