>Is the dollar sign needed or just '123' is enough? In our database, there is no such thing as Status = 123; there is Status = 1, Status = 2, etc., but not Status = 123. I thought that the dollar sign means that either 1 or 2 or 3. hhhmmmmm...
Exactly. The $ sign means, the string to the left is contained in (is a sbustring of) the string to the right. So,
"2" $ "123" matches the condition, wherease
"4" $ "123" does not. Only the values 1, 2, or 3 will be included with the filter expression.
