[Solved] "Expected token" when filtering with functions

[Marco]

I have to use client filtering in my current project; with "normal" expressions like: "PK_Random~eq~value" the filter works like a charm, but when I use the substring / startswith / endswith methods the debugger spit me a filterParserException with the "Expected Token" error, this is the JS code:

 <script type="text/javascript">
     function filter() {
         var grid = $("#gridID").data("tGrid");
         grid.filter("substringof(someName, 'Somevalue')");
     };
 </script>

I call this function with an onlick event binded to a button.
The model passed to the grid is created from a view in the db.
The telerik's version I'm using is: 2011.3.1115

I've upgraded the project to the last version (2012.1.214). The problem still persists.

UPDATE: Solved.

Hello Marco,

To make things work you should remove the 'space' after the comma in your expression.
