escape special charachters

[nihillinguist...@gmail.com]

Hello,
I have the following problem: I need to produce concordance on lists and my list is made of emoticons like

:-||

:-@

>:-@

>:@

>_<

è_é

X-(

X-C

X-/

:@

I do not find how to escape @ and make it processed literally.
Furthermore I do not know where to find a list of all special charachters I need to take into account when running queries from lists.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance,
Isabella

Dear Isabella,

The list of wildcards is in the global settings. You can change the wildcards to any characters that you please. Just change @ to something else (e.g. #) and that will work fine.

Regards,
Laurence.

yes, i used backslash + the character, but it didn't show the actual number of hits.

What exactly are you trying to find the number of hits for?
