Re: [GNC] Best way to track expenses for trips

No Idea. I'm guessing the text will be matched in all three so any 
transaction that has it in any one will be included. (no way to say 
'only look at Description' for example)

thus: foo in Description OR foo in Notes OR foo in Memo = TRUE

But what you seek is more of:

foo in Description AND fee in Notes AND fum in Memo

You can maybe figure out a regular expression to look for a particular 
combination, but since the info is in three parts, it might fail not 
being all together.

Alternatively, you could do the same with an 'or' expression rather than 
an 'and'. (Not certain that is possible with regex, but I'd think it is)

I suppose you'll be the one to find out and let us know!

That sounds really complicated. Could the tagging be simplified and 
still maintain the info you want in the transaction? (maybe even develop 
an independent tag from all of that info or including parts of all three 
and placing that in one spot for the filter)

Adrien
