Hello, what would be the best function to use to find any name in a table that has a slash at the end or beginning of the name? (It's a crude flagging system.) Thank you for any help.
 
Assuming you are in the selection expert, your formula would be:
(left({your.field},1)="/" or right({your.field},1)="/")

Would there be a slash anywhere else in the name?

You could also try:

Inst({table.field},"/") > 0
