    Hi all,
    How can I use leSearchHierarchy in conjunction with square
    bracket? I think if I can manage a '\' in front of '[, it may work. But
    I have very hard time adding this stupid character into the string. Any
    tips please?

    Wild guess without trying it - you might need to use a double \ (i.e. \\[).
    If I remember rightly, the layout search uses regular expressions - and so
    you need to escape the [] which are regexp metacharacters. However, backslash
    has special meaning in strings (like in C), and so you need to escape the
    backslash too...

    Not sure this is right - give it a try though.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
