First of all i would like to thank for this awsome plugin.
i m working with dataTable plugin 1.7. i m using individual column filtering function

[code]oTable.fnFilter([container],iColumn,true,true,false);[/code]

but i came up with some problem.
if i give input smthing like A & B|AB its not getting filtered.i got output
"No matching Records Found".i enabled both bRegx and bSmart,like it is in fallowing example

http://datatables.net/beta/1.7/examples/api/regex.html

in this example if i checked both Treat as regex and Use smart filter, and give input smthing like i gave in my code..for exmp.
Firefox 1.0 & A|Netscape 7.2
then its not getting filtered.

guys please help me out...

thanks in advance.

I don't quite get what you are trying to do - if I put in "Firefox 1.0 & A|Netscape 7.2" into column 1, with bRegex checked into the example you pointed at, there are correctly no matched found. There is no string "Firefox 1.0 & A" in any of the individual columns in the example - indeed there is no ampersand in the table at all, which means nothing will match with it.

Thanks Allan for your quick reply.
sorry to not elaborate the problem properly....

actually i changed the Firefox 1.0 to Firefox 1.0 & A in second column and then tried to filter with this input

Firefox 1.0 & A|Netscape 7.2

with both bRegx And bSmart enabled and then i got ''no matching records found''.

if i enabled only bRegx then i m getting only second string that is Netscape 7.2
and if i enabled bSmart then i m getting only the first string that is Firefox 1.0 & A

i also tried this with dataTables 1.6 but here, because of '&' the string is not getting filtered.i also escaped the '&' but still problem remains same.
[code]oTable.fnFilter(sInput,2,false)[/code]
also,i used global filter,but i didn't get the desired output.

i am using my own regular expression to escape '&'

please help me out...

& isn't a regular expression 'key character' in Javascript - so you can't escape it (or you can try, but it won't do anything :-) ). There is no letter '&' in the table, so it is always going to fail to match when you put an '&' into the filter. Are you looking for a logical AND? I'm not a regular expression expert, but this is a great site for regex info: http://www.regular-expressions.info/
