[GNC] Report filter Syntax

[Geoff]

Hi Grace

You can find a a particular transaction in an account using either the 
Transaction Report or the Find Transaction facility (Edit / Find) from 
within the account's register.

Both methods support "regular expressions" which extend the capabilities 
of the Filters beyond a mere "find this text" search.

GnuCash supports what are known as POSIX Regular Expressions, and you 
can read all about them here:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/watson-explorer/12.0.x?topic=queries-posix-regular-expression-syntax-examples

Note, regular expressions are cAsE sensitive.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Geoff
