Search In RadGrid

[manish]

Hi

Special character creating problem while searching in grid.
Sample file is attached.

In RemoteIDNumber search box I put    977 and searched with contains its giving me the right records, its OK.
but what i want is
when i give 97715 it should give me two records like -977-15 and 9771559 (first two record in attached file)
but its giving only 9771559. I have to ignore the special characters.

How can i do this type of serach by ignoring special characters? 

Regards

I believe this help article should be of use to you:

It looks like you'll need to create your own custom filter and add it to the list.

I hope that helps.

I'm having the same problem. I want to filter by ignoring some special characters like â,ă,ţ,ş,î and replacing them with a,t,s,i, respectively. I thought at regular expressions. But I don't know how to do this to obtain the desired results. To be more specific: if in the filter textbox I type "strada" in the items of the corresponding column of the grid there should be records the contain also "stradă".

Thank you and best wishes!

I might suggest trying to replace the "-" with ""(nothing) similarly to what I did in my case. Se the thread I've opened
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/filter-by-a-regular-expresion.aspx and the solution I've thought to be the one for me. I think you could use it also.

Good luck
